A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11883306B2) discloses a prosthetic liner designed to enhance comfort and functionality for amputees. The liner features a unique construction with a cushion layer forming a lattice structure with sub-layers and interstices, allowing for air and moisture transfer. A facing layer with apertures facilitates this transfer, while a distal cup region provides durability and impermeability. The liner's tapering thickness from distal to proximal ends contributes to its overall design, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for users.
Furthermore, the prosthetic liner includes sub-layers of filaments oriented in different directions within the cushion layer, promoting structural integrity and flexibility. The integration of these filaments without adhesive allows for a seamless bond, enhancing the liner's durability and performance. The inclusion of a porous textile layer on the exterior surface further adds to the liner's comfort and wearability, making it a comprehensive solution for prosthetic limb users seeking both functionality and comfort in their daily activities.
