ABSTRACT:
A clear liquid silicone rubber is modified by the addition of an elongation enhancer. The resulting silicone compound is molded into a form that overlies the residual limb of an amputee and provides an interface member between the residual limb and a prosthesis. A nonsilicone substrate is partially embedded in the bottom of the interface member and a nonembedded part of the substrate provides a connection to the prosthesis. Electrons are stripped from the surface of the substrate, an adhesion promoter is applied, and the clear silicone polymer is vulcanized onto the substrate so that it bonds to the silicone portion of the adhesion promoter.
