Review: Great product! - It is very comfortable and has solved the pinching issue that I had. I told my prosthessis about this product and he is looking into getting them for his other patients. Great product! Review: Seems great, doesnt fit my socket in particular. - Had such high hopes for this product. I think it would be great. Doesn't fit over my socket at all, my socket goes very high and is strange shape. I tried and could feel instant relief on the part it did wrap around tho.

I told my prosthessis about this product and he is looking into getting them for his other patients. Great product! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems great, doesnt fit my socket in particular. *by D***E on February 23, 2017* Had such high hopes for this product. I think it would be great. Doesn't fit over my socket at all, my socket goes very high and is strange shape. I tried and could feel instant relief on the part it did wrap around tho. It's material seems very strong and of good quality. ### ⭐ Didn't work *by N***K on April 6, 2017* This did not work for my socket. I have one of the newest types of socket called a soft brim (see pics). It has a flexible rubber strip on the inside of the socket at the top. Even though I measured the socket correctly this didn't even come close to fitting and I don't think it will work for my type of socket because all it did was fold over the rubber part and make it impossible for my leg to get in. I tried emailing their customer service to see if I could try a larger size and they referred me to Amazon. However, Amazon said this item is unreturnable (even though I told them I never tried it on) so I guess I have an expensive sock to dust the house with now. I do not have the sheath with me because I am travelling but when I get home I will post a pic of what it looks like on my socket --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28493115-above-knee-amputee-prosthetic-brim-sheath-by-glidewear-protects-skin](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28493115-above-knee-amputee-prosthetic-brim-sheath-by-glidewear-protects-skin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
