Abstract：
:Silicone rubbers and casting tapes individually have previously been used in the manufacture of sockets (Swanson, 1972; Sweitzer, 1973; Ruder, 1977; Graves, 1980; Aqualite, 1982). The authors believe that the present combination of these materials to manufacture a directly moulded socket with a complete silicone rubber lining of variable thickness has not previously been described. The new socket, after addition of the modular components, allows fitting of an aligned below-knee prosthesis within three hours. The socket (Fig. 1.) is made directly on the below-knee stump, can be completed with experience in an hour and does not require the use of specialized equipment. The socket consists of an outer supportive Scotchflex layer inside which is a lining of soft smooth biocompatible silicone rubber of deliberately variable thickness to allow pressure tolerant areas to accept more load and pressure sensitive areas to accept less load (Fig.2). The thicker areas of silicone are produced by applying carefully cut Plastazote pads to the pressure sensitive areas. The thickness and extent of the pads is individually assessed according to the estimated sensitivity of the particular area (Fig. 3). The Scotchflex socket is then manufactured directly on the below-knee stump with these pads applied. The pads are then removed prior to insertion of a semi-liquid silicone rubber. Thus, when the socket with the liquid silicone rubber is re-applied to the stump, the space produced by the pads is filled by the rubber which then sets at room temperature. In this way a layer of variable thickness is produced.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
