It is a cloth fabric which one wears over the affected area. It can be custom made to fit over the stump. The previously suggested article regarding phantom pain is a good. Here are a couple of articles regarding Farabloc for your information: http://www.advanceforot.com/pastarticles/oct29_01feature4.html http://canada.medbroadcast.com/health_beat/index.shtml?revolutionary_treatment_for_reducing_pain.html I have also included a link to the Farabloc site below. You may also want to visit Award Prosthetics for information about having the Farabloc fabric laminated into the socket of your prosthesis: http://www.awardprosthetics.com/frames.html Good luck with your situation. Hope to hear back from you! All the best, Larry : my husband is aka 7wks. we have heard of farabloc fabric but what is it? he is still having phantom pains really bad. : thanks, : mike&tam
