Knit-Rite Hip Disarticulation Soft-Sock is a prosthetic sock designed as an easy-to-care-for soft sock, capable of wicking perspiration. It is intended for users who wear a Hip Disarticulation prosthesis.

The fine knit sock construction is of the highest quality and can hold up to the most active people. Knit-Rite Soft-Sock prosthetic sock feels soft and huggable when worn against your skin and Knit-Rite added just enough stretch so the Hip Disarticulation Soft-Sock fits comfortably and can accommodate many unique shapes.

Sold each.

Sizing: To determine which flat measurement of hip socks to order, take 10–20% less than half the actual circumference hip measurement in order to accommodate both the hip and the waist, and make the best use of the stretch of the fabric. Each size will fit circumferences smaller than those stated if stretched in the length, or larger circumferences if stretched in the width. For instance, a 14″ width flat measurement, 16″ length sock would fit a tall person with a 26″ hip as well as a short person with up to a 32″ hip measurement. Stretching in the width shortens the length. Stretching in the length reduces the width. Allowances should be made in sizing. Because of the increased elasticity of these fabrics, flat widths of the socks will be up to 10% less than measurement stated.
