Claim 0:
1. A method for manufacturing a customized sleeve for a prosthesis, comprising the following steps:
(a) providing a mold of an end of a limb of an individual who is intended to receive the prosthesis;
(b) providing a preform made of an elastomer material, the preform comprising an open proximal end and a closed distal end;
(c) positioning the preform on the mold;
(d) positioning on the preform at least one element selected from among: a polymer reinforcement, a layer of an elongation-preventing fabric, a distal cup and an air discharge sheath;
(e) positioning a vacuum cover around the preform; and
(f) creating a vacuum and injecting a polymer cross-linkable at room temperature into the vacuum cover so as to form a coating having a uniform thickness over the preform and each element positioned on the preform.
