Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing a custom-made liner for a prosthesis, comprising:
providing a mold of a stump of a subject intended to receive the prosthesis;
providing a sheath made of elastomer material, the sheath including an inner wall and an outer wall defining a sheath body that extends between a proximal end suitable for placing the sheath body onto the stump of the subject and a distal end, surfaces of the sheath body defining an internal conformable cavity formed in the sheath body at the distal end of the sheath body, the internal conformable cavity being open to the outside of the sheath via an opening formed in the outer wall of the sheath, and placing the sheath on the mold of the stump via the proximal end of the sheath body; and
injecting a polymer material into the internal conformable cavity via the opening in the outer wall of the sheath so as to at least partially fill the internal conformable cavity and to conform the internal conformable cavity filled with the polymer material to a profile of the mold of the stump, thereby forming the custom-made liner.
