Abstract
A tubular liner has an open proximal end and a closed-end distal area, and a fabric layer continuously defining an exterior surface of the liner without interruption. A polymeric layer having first and second surfaces is bonded to an interior surface of the fabric layer. A seam is formed by opposed sides of the fabric layer joined together and forming an excess portion directed toward the cavity of the liner. The excess portion is embedded in the polymeric layer.

A tubular liner having an open proximal end and a closed-end distal area, and interior and exterior surfaces, the liner forming a cavity delimited by the interior surface, the liner adapted to envelop a residual limb, comprising;
- a fabric layer defining first and second surfaces, the first fabric layer surface continuously defining the exterior surface of the liner;
- at least one polymeric layer having first and second surfaces, the at least one polymeric layer surface bonded to second surface of the fabric layer;
- and
- a seam formed by opposed sides of the fabric layer joined together, the opposed sides of the fabric layer forming an excess portion directed toward the cavity of the liner and embedded in the at least one polymeric layer.
