Sealing sheath for prosthetic liner and related methods

A method for making a prosthetic device, comprising the steps of:

• providing a fabric material defining a wicking layer;
• providing male and female molds, the male mold having an annular indent;
• placing a section of the fabric material over the male mold;
• placing the female mold having an annular indent corresponding to a shape of a seal over the male mold and fabric material;
• indexing the male mold annular indent to the female mold annular indent;
• injecting an elastomeric material between the male and female molds so as to allow for the elastomeric material to pass through and bridge the fabric to ensure the elastomeric material on both sides of the fabric material only at the female and male mold annular indents;
• forming an elastomeric annular seal from the injected elastomeric material only at the female mold annular indent and protruding from an outside surface of the fabric material adjacent the female mold and continuously extending from and along an inside surface of the fabric material adjacent to the male mold.

• injecting an elastomeric material between the male and female molds so as to allow for the elastomeric material to pass through and bridge the fabric to ensure the elastomeric material on both sides of the fabric material at least at the female mold annular indent;
• wherein the female mold annular indent defines cavities for forming first and second wings combining to form a v-shaped cross-section and extending outwardly from an outside surface of the fabric material.
