Abstract
A process for forming a cushion layer of a preselected thickness on an inside of a prosthetic liner body is provided and includes the steps of introducing the liner body into a mold cavity; disposing a sufficient amount of cushioning material into the inside of the liner and directing a mandrel into the inside of the liner body. The driving action of the mandrel causes the cushioning material to be dispersed between the mandrel and the liner body, thereby forming the cushioning layer of preselected thickness.
