Abstract
A liner system for applying to a limb or a limb stump, with an inner liner comprising an inner side facing the limb or limb stump and an outer side facing away from the limb or limb stump, and an outer liner that comprises an inner side facing the inner liner and an outer side facing away from the inner liner. The outer liner is designed to be applied over the inner liner, with a sealing element which is designed to be separate from the inner liner and the outer liner, for arranging between the outer side of the inner liner and the inner side of the outer liner.
Claims22
A liner system for applying to a limb or a limb stump, the liner system comprising:
- a socket comprising an inner wall;
- an inner liner comprising an inner side facing the limb or limb stump and an outer side facing away from the limb or limb stump;
- an outer liner that comprises an inner side facing the inner liner and an outer side facing the inner wall of the socket and facing away from the inner liner and that is applied over the inner liner;
- a sealing element separate from the inner liner and the outer liner and comprising two free ends and at least one fixing element for attaching the free ends to one another, the sealing member being between the outer side of the inner liner and the inner side of the outer liner, wherein the sealing element is ring-shaped, wherein the sealing element is configured to be held in place on the outer side of the inner liner by an elastic holding force and is displaceable along a longitudinal direction of the inner liner before the outer liner is applied to the inner liner and the sealing element, and wherein the sealing element is configured to be held in place between the outer side of the inner liner and the inner side of the outer liner by pressure exerted on the sealing element and the inner liner by the outer liner.
A liner system for applying to a limb or a limb stump, the liner system comprising:
- an inner liner comprising an inner side facing the limb or limb stump;
- an outer side facing away from the limb or limb stump;
- an outer liner that comprises an inner side facing the inner liner and an outer side facing away from the inner liner and that is applied over the inner liner;
- a sealing element separate from the inner liner and the outer liner, the sealing element being between the outer side of the inner liner and the inner side of the outer liner, wherein the sealing element includes two free ends and at least one fixing element for attaching the free ends to one another, wherein the sealing element is configured to be held in place on the outer side of the inner liner by an elastic holding force and is displaceable along a longitudinal direction of the inner liner before the outer liner is applied to the inner liner and the sealing element, and wherein the sealing element is configured to be held in place between the outer side of the inner liner and the inner side of the outer liner by pressure exerted on the sealing element and the inner liner by the outer liner.
