Abstract
The expulsion liner is for use with a prosthetic device to be secured to a residual limb. The expulsion liner includes an elongated elastomeric tube having a closed distal end and an open proximal end, and defining an interior space configured to receive the residual limb. A one-way valve is positioned within the closed distal end and provides controlled fluid communication between the interior space and an external environment. The one-way valve may be configured to allow the weight of a user, via the residual limb, to expel moisture and air from the interior space out to the external environment.
