SUSPENSION LINER SYSTEM WITH SEAL

摘要

A suspension liner is adapted to provide an interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket. The suspension liner defines an interior surface and an exterior surface forming a liner profile between a closed distal end and an open proximal end. The suspension liner defines a liner body portion formed from an elastomeric material and at least one seal protruding circumferentially about and radially outward a distance from the liner profile, which is defined at areas outside the at least one seal. The at least one seal defines a sealing surface arranged to deflect toward the liner profile and take up a higher pressure when donned on a residual limb and engaged with an interior wall of the prosthetic socket.

1. A suspension liner adapted to provide an interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket, the suspension liner defining an interior surface and an exterior surface forming a liner profile between a closed distal end and an open proximal end, the suspension liner comprising:
a flexible elongate, generally conical liner body portion formed from an elastomeric material; and at least one seal protruding circumferentially about and radially outward a distance from the liner profile, which liner profile is defined at areas outside the at least one seal, the at least one seal defining a sealing surface arranged to deflect toward the liner profile and take up a higher pressure when donned on a residual limb and engaged with an interior wall of the prosthetic socket.
