Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a prosthetic liner for insertion into a prosthetic socket, which comprises a receptacle having a distal end and a proximal edge for a residual limb and the prosthetic liner. The method comprises determining a sealing lip contour on the outer face of the prosthetic liner which corresponds to a height contour of the proximal edge of the prosthetic socket, or on the basis of available, known anatomic characteristics of the residual limb and arranging a sealing lip on the outer face of the prosthetic liner along the determined sealing lip contour.
