The Knit-Rite X-Wool Prosthetic Sock with X-STATIC is a relatively new wool prosthetic sock from Knit-Rite that contains a few high performance features. The Knit-Rite X-Wool is made from Virgin Wool, the most popular natural sock textile. Wool socks offer cushioning and may be considered by many amputees as more durable than a cotton or polyester alternative. Designed with X-STATIC, Knit-Rite wanted you to benefit from thermal conductivity, so your residual limb at an even temperature. The silver infused X-STATIC promotes skin hygiene by protecting against bacterial growth and fungi.
