Abstract: It concerns a prosthetic device for lower limb of a uses having a leg component, a foot component having a foot shell defining a first cavity within said foot shell and a coves component covering said leg component, said leg, foot and cover components being water compatible. The cover component is formed by an hollow flexible self-carrying sleeve defining a cavity within the sleeve around the leg component, the foot shell comprising a hole on its inner side, overlapping the sleeve on at least one centimeter and presenting an aperture below the sleeve to provide air communication between the cavity and the exterior. The cover component comprises in its upper part, a longitudinal slot, so that the water drains naturally from the first and second cavities.

Abstract: A prosthetic device for a lower limb of a user is provided which includes a femoral leg component, a foot component and a cover component which are water compatible. The cover component includes one or more hollow sleeves defining one or more cavities in communication with a cavity provided in the foot component. The foot compartment includes a hole overlapping the one or more hollow sleeves which is configured to evacuate water from the prosthetic device and to provide air communication between the one or more cavities and the exterior of the prosthetic device. The cover includes a flexible venting opening so that the water drains naturally from the one or more cavities. A method of manufacturing the prosthetic device is also provided. The method includes manufacturing a cover with successive layers forming the cavities, with the cavities configured such that water drains naturally from the prosthetic device.
