A method and kit for forming a definitive prosthetic socket directly on a
residuum without the use of a water hardenable material. A chamber
surrounding a web of braided fibers is created on the residuum via the
use of inner and outer protective sheaths. A hardenable or curable
material for forming the prosthetic socket is injected into the chamber
around the web. Pressure is applied around the chamber to form the
definitive prosthetic socket.
