Abstract
A prosthetic liner for receiving a residual limb has a body with an open proximal end and a closed distal end. The liner includes a seal having an annular sealing lip positioned about the body axis on the body distal end. The sealing lip includes a root that is secured to the body distal end, and a sealing edge that extends from the root so as to form an opening and is biased away from the body distal end.

A prosthetic liner for receiving a residual limb, the liner having a body with an open proximal end and a closed distal end, and an axis, the liner comprising:
- at least one seal having an annular sealing lip positioned about the body axis on the body distal end, the sealing lip including a root secured to the body distal end, and a sealing edge extending from the root towards the body axis, the sealing edge being biased away from the body distal end and forming an opening about the body axis.
A prosthetic liner for receiving a residual limb, the liner having a body with an open proximal end and a closed distal end, and an axis, the liner comprising:
- at least one seal having an annular sealing lip positioned about the body axis on the body distal end, the sealing lip including a root secured to the body distal end, a first sealing edge extending from the root towards the body axis, and a second sealing edge extending from the root towards the body axis, the second sealing edge positioned more proximate to the liner distal end than the first sealing edge, the first and second sealing edges being biased away from the body distal end and forming an opening about the body axis.
A prosthetic liner for receiving a residual limb, the liner having a body with an open proximal end and a closed distal end, the liner comprising:
- at least one seal having an annular sealing lip positioned obliquely relative to the body axis on the body distal end, the sealing lip including a root secured to the body distal end, and a sealing edge extending from the root, the sealing edge biased away from the body distal end and forming an opening.
