ABSTRACT:
A soft and elastic prosthetic liner blank for customizing to an individual user is formed from thermoplastic material and molded to a hollow, generally rotation symmetric shape having at least one radial dimension. The liner blank has an open proximal end for insertion of the residuum of an amputee's arm or leg and a closed distal end, and the liner blank further having a material composition allowing thermo-forming of the liner blank while maintaining elasticity in the thermally applied shape. The radius of the liner blank is dimensioned to accommodate and to adopt, through plastic deformation, any sectional profile included in the positive copy.
