An external limb prosthesis socket liner is a flexible, form-fitting interface placed between a prosthetic socket and the wearer’s residual limb. Its primary purpose is to improve comfort, stability, and suspension by distributing pressure evenly and reducing friction, which helps enhance mobility and reduce skin irritation for amputees.
These liners are typically supplied as single-use or reusable items, depending on the material, and are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and risk profile. They are often classified according to their design and materials, with variations in thickness and texture to suit different limb shapes and prosthetic systems.
