Abstract
Various systems and methods for removing perspiration from the interior of a donned polymeric prosthetic liner are disclosed.
Claims20
A system for removing perspiration from an interior of a donned polymeric prosthetic liner, comprising:
- a prosthetic liner having a polymeric body, the polymeric body having an open proximal end for allowing the introduction of a residual limb, a closed or essentially closed distal end opposite the proximal end, an interior, and an exterior;
- a perspiration wicking fabric disposed along the interior of the polymeric body at the distal end thereof;
- an elastomeric barrier layer disposed along a portion of a proximal side of the perspiration wicking fabric;
- and
- a port located at the distal end of the polymeric body and passing through the polymeric body to expose an area of the perspiration wicking fabric.
