PROSTHETIC LINER WITH POLYMER SKIN

摘要

The invention suggests the application of a friction reducing polymer skin to a soft and elastic prosthetic liner through polymerization of a cyclic mono-mer in a vaporization process. The invention also suggests a method for producing a soft and elastic prosthetic liner with a friction reducing polymer film, and the use of a polymer film for reducing surface friction on a soft and elastic prosthetic liner. The polymer film preferred is a poly-paraxylylene film.
