ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing a breathable, custom-molded liner for an artificial limb socket includes the steps of providing a liner comprising an open-celled foam material impregnated with a curable resin, activating the curable resin, and deforming the foam material by positioning a residual limb on one of opposing surfaces of the liner, and positioning the artificial limb socket on a second opposing surface of the liner until curing is substantially complete to create and retain an impression of the residual limb in the foam material. A liner blank useful for preparing an artificial limb socket, comprising a foam material impregnated with a curable resin and sewn into the shape of a sock for an artificial limb, is also described.
