PROSTHETIC LINER AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME
A method for making a prosthetic liner (100) includes the steps of providing a textile sleeve (102), applying an uncured silicone material onto an inner surface of the textile sleeve (102) and impregnating interstices of a high-density knit structure of the textile sleeve (102). The silicone material is a fast-cure silicone material arranged to cure faster than conventional silicone material. The silicone material is preferably limited to the inner surface of the textile sleeve (102), whereas the outer surface is devoid of the silicone material. The silicone defines an inner layer (101) forming the interior surface of the liner (100), and the outer surface of the textile sleeve (102) forms the exterior surface of the liner (100). A thickness of the liner (100) from the interior surface of the liner (100) to the inner surface of the textile layer (102) consists of the silicone of the inner layer (101).
