The method for producing a prosthetic sleeve to measure from a thermoformable preform comprises: producing a reduced positive mould corresponding to the copy of the shape of the stump of the residual limb reduced by 3 to 5% of all circumferences of the shape of the stump, providing a preform made from a thermoformable elastomer, said preform having an open proximal end, a closed distal end, a uniform-thickness wall and a hardness greater than 40 Shore A, preferably greater than 42 Shore A, and more preferably still greater than 45 Shore A, placing the preform on the reduced positive mould to form a preform/mould assembly, shaping the preform by heating the preform/mould assembly to a temperature between 60 and 150°C, preferably between 90°C and 120°C, to obtain a prosthetic sleeve. |
