The Dry Absorbent Layer System (DAL) will improve your comfort, use, and confidence with using your liner and prosthetic.

The four layers of materials include: a first layer of a cellulose pulp material having a thickness use for a desired absorbency, a second layer of a wicking cloth material having a thickness use for a desired absorbency, a third layer of a non-toxic double side adhesive tape material one side will stick to both layer, and a fourth layer that is the opposite side which are cover with paper material that can be peeled from the third layer to adhere the inside of a prosthetic liner base sheet to stop the excessive accumulation build-up of sweating.

Prosthetics liners are designed to be used directly against a user's skin, which results in excessive sweat accumulation inside the prosthetic liners that can be very uncomfortable, and known to be very possibly dangerous, for the user. For example, the user may feel like he or she is wearing a sweat suit against the skin where the prosthetic liner contacts the user's skin. The longer the moisture remains on the skin and in contact with the prosthetic liner, the greater chance for dangerous adverse health issues to develop. Once the top layer of skin (e.g., sheath) is soaked with sweat, the skin can become softer such that when friction occurs on the surface between the sheath, the damp skin can cause blisters or macerations. The compromised skin can become prone to develop infections which becomes very painful when left untreated, leading to further dangerous life-threatening infections and complications.

When dangerous excessive sweat is present inside a prosthetic liner, the prosthetic liner can slip off of a user's limb, thereby increasing the danger and risk of further injury due to unsteady balance due to the dangerous excessive sweat buildup in the wet prosthetic liner. However, the use of a sock to prevent sweat buildup can alter the fit of the prosthetic liner, as well as cause chafing to the user due to the moisture and sweat buildup. When the fit is altered by the liner or sock, the user is susceptible to further injuries.

While there are many designs of disposable absorbent materials in the field of medicine, industry, hygiene, and household sectors, the prosthetic liners industry has failed to invent a method to this day for keeping a prosthetic liner dry and to solve the problem of excessive accumulation of sweat buildup inside of the wet, thermal environment found inside the prosthetic liner.

Specifically, the present system keeps otherwise wet prosthetic liners dry by preventing the excessive accumulation of sweat build-up inside any prosthetic liners. The present system can include four layers of materials including: (1) a first cellulose wood pulp material layer, (2) a second wicking cloth material layer, (3) a third non-toxic adhesive double side tape layer, and, optionally, (4) a fourth paper material layer covering the back (outer surface) of the third layer, wherein the paper layer can be peeled from third layer. Following the peeling of the fourth layer form the third layer, the product can be placed inside at the base on the surface inside a prosthetic liner to keep the inside of the liner dry.
