Summary: | A suspension liner (10) is provided for use as an interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket. The liner (10) has an elongate, generally conical liner body (12) formed from at least one material segment that is at least radially elastically extensible from a relaxed non-extended condition and including proximal and distal end areas, and a seal component (14) connected to the liner body (12) and having an exterior surface (54) defining at least one exterior seal (18) protruding from the exterior surface and extending radially outwardly from the seal component relative to a longitudinal axis of the liner body (12) to form a ring (26, 28). The at least one interior configuration (32) is located along an interior surface (56) of the seal component (14) and defines at least one blade (34) extending obliquely toward the liner body (12). A portion of the seal component (14) carrying the interior configuration (32) extends freely and is movable relative to the liner body (12). |
