A method for creating a flexible sleeve member for an amputation stump. The sleeve member is made of a thermoplastic elastic and transparent material. The sleeve member is shaped after a flexed limb, for instance a knee, which makes it easier to avoid foldings of the sleeve, which would otherwise be obtained at the back of the knee when a person wearing the prosthetic device sits down. By means of the sleeve member according to the invention, comfort is improved for a person wearing such a prosthetic device. |
