This work parallels that of Operation Namaste, who was the first organization to create silicone liners for prosthetics. This semester, students are hoping to find and correct flaws in the ...

There are more than 45,000 people in England alone who rely on prosthetic limbs, with more than 5,000 people each year having new lower-limb amputations.

Tailor-made prosthetic liners could help more amputees walk again Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a new way of designing and manufacturing bespoke prosthetic liners, in less ...

A patented new material called “Roliner” allows amputees to change the shape, volume and stiffness of the liner used to attach an artificial limb’s socket to their body, researchers report.

"This liner will help John to have a better life, a normal life," she says. For John, one big advantage is the speed at which he would be able to put his prosthetic leg on in an emergency.

The team will examine the bacterial and other microbial populations in prosthetic liners with the long-term aim of designing new technologies, including antimicrobial lining materials. The research ...

Prosthetic makeup designer Pierre Olivier Persin employed a series of techniques to create those eye-popping looks seen in 'The Substance.' Key to it all: properly blending materials.
