ABSTRACT:
A prosthesis liner for below-knee amputees comprising a polymer liner, such as silicone, incorporating a pre-flexed shape having an angle at the knee selected from 20 to 60 degrees, at least one thickened upper silicone band, an appropriate anatomical shape and taper and a flexible connector piece at the bottom portion of the liner adapted for connection to a walking piece. An anti-bacterial agent is added to the liner to suppress the over-growth of bacteria that may form between the liner and the residuum.
