ABSTRACT:
A method and kit for forming a definitive prosthetic socket directly on a residuum without the use of a water hardenable material. A chamber surrounding a web of braided fibers is created on the residuum via the use of inner and outer protective sheaths. A hardenable or curable material for forming the prosthetic socket is injected into the chamber around the web. Pressure is applied around the chamber to form the definitive prosthetic socket.
