摘要

The invention discloses in part a method for creating a flexible sleeve member for usage onto an amputations stump and in part a corresponding sleeve member made in a thermoplastic elastic and transparent material. According to the invention the material of 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 carrying the prosthetic device sits down. By means of the sleeve member according to the invention the comfort is essentially improved for a person carrying such a prosthetic device.
