Abstract
A breathable prosthetic liner that includes an inner material in varying patterns that allows for air and fluid to move around the limb while maintaining a secure hold upon the amputee. The inner material is preferably made of nylon but may be a fleeced elastic and may contain a plurality of openings which may be along a central axis and offset.

A breathable prosthetic liner, comprising:
- an open proximal end;
- a closed distal end;
- an external fabric layer;
- an interior thermoformable layer;
- an inner material incorporated within the thermoformable layer;
- and
- a through hole at the distal end penetrating all layers of the breathable prosthetic liner, wherein the inner material allows for air and fluid movement while maintaining a secure fit on an amputee's residual limb.
