Claim:
A prosthesis system comprising: a suspension liner sleeve adapted to provide an interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket, said liner sleeve having an elongate, generally conical body portion formed of a material that is at least radially extendible from a relaxed non-extended condition and including proximal and distal end areas; at least one recessed portion extending around at least one peripheral portion-of the liner sleeve body portion between said proximal and distal end areas; at least one resilient seal element outwardly protruding from the liner sleeve body portion, the at least one resilient seal element having a first end portion secured within the at least one recessed portion and a second end portion arranged for deflection into or within the at least one recessed portion; and a prosthetic socket configured to receive said liner in close fitting relationship when the liner sleeve body portion is disposed on a residual limb, said at least one resilient seal element bridging any gap between said liner sleeve body portion and an interior wall of said socket in the area of the at least one resilient seal element.
