An improved liner and method is taught for use in protecting a wearer's skin from moisture retention when worn with prosthetic devices and other substantially non-breathable shells. The liner is form fitted to attach to a wearer without bunching or other pressure points which can cause skin irritation. Preferably, the liner comprises a membrane of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene coated on its interior surface with a polyurethane material to aid in moisture isolation and to protect the liner from compromise due to oils and other contaminants found in perspiration. The liner is effective at shielding a wearer's skin from moisture even when worn with no separate absorbent layer.

Méthode de fabrication d'un revêtement amélioré pour protéger de l'humidité la peau d'une personne qui porte une prothèse ou toute autre coquille essentiellement non aérée. Le revêtement est façonné de manière à épouser parfaitement la partie du corps qu'il couvre sans qu'il y ait entassement du matériau ou de points de pression pouvant irriter la peau. Dans la version privilégiée, le revêtement comprend une membrane de polytétrafluoroéthlyène expansée dont la face intérieure est revêtue d'un matériau de polyuréthane qui bloque l'humidité et qui protège le revêtement des huiles et autres substances contaminantes présentes dans la sueur. Le revêtement protège efficacement la peau de l'humidité, même lorsqu'il est porté sans couche absorbante distincte.
