ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic socket seal includes at least one radially projecting sealing lip which jointly with a base subtends an annular gap. This annular gap is vented on a proximal side by the external atmosphere, resulting in creation of a pressure gradient at the sealing lip that produces stronger compression of the sealing lip against the prosthetic socket with increasing partial vacuum on a distal side of the sealing lip.
