SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POLYMERIC PROSTHETIC LINE PERSPIRATION REMOVAL

摘要

Various systems and methods for removing perspiration from the interior of a donned polymeric prosthetic liner are disclosed. A prosthetic liner having a polymeric body is provided. The polymeric body has an open proximal end for allowing the introduction of a residual limb, a closed or essentially closed distal end opposite the proximal end, an interior, and an exterior. A perspiration wicking fabric is disposed along the interior of the polymeric body at the distal end, and an elastomeric barrier layer is disposed along a portion of a proximal side of the perspiration wicking fabric. A port is located at the distal end of the polymeric body and passes through the polymeric body to expose an area of the perspiration wicking fabric.
