PEL Supply Offers Hugger Top Soft-Sock by Knit-Rite

Soft and cuddly when worn next to the skin, the new Hugger Top Soft-Sock from Knit-Rite uses the stretching and fitting qualities of Lycra to offer a more tailored fit, reduced rolling and bunching, and maintain sock placement.

Knit-Rite claims that its patented hemispherically knit, three-dimensional distal end shape provides improved fit and comfort over the traditional flat knit envelope shape of prosthetic socks.
