16) Pull the carbon fibre woven hose over the plaster positive to the
socket edge. Tie the upper section of the carbon fibre woven tube
and fold the remaining length over the plaster positive.
17) Cut a piece of Perlon stockinette (twice the length of the plaster
positive).
18) Pull the Perlon stockinette over the plaster positive up to the sock
et edge. Tie the upper section of the Perlon stockinette and fold
the remaining length over the plaster positive.
19) Soak the longer PVA bag and pull it over the plaster positive.
20) Perform the casting process with Orthocryl.
21) Finish the prosthetic socket (see page 16).
5.1.5 Finishing the Prosthetic Socket
>
Required materials:
Snap Bushings
1) Mark and trim the contour of the prosthetic socket.
2) Sand the distal end of the socket down to the vacuum forming
dummy and the heads of the cap screws (see fig. 11).
3) On a level surface, check whether the sanded surface is flat.
Rework as needed.
4) Remove the vacuum forming dummy and the cap screws from the
prosthetic socket.
5) Remove the prosthetic socket from the plaster positive.
6) Sand the contour of the prosthetic socket.
7) Insert the snap bushings into the openings from which the cap
screws were removed (see fig. 12).
5.2 Installing the Shuttle Lock and Socket Adapter
CAUTION
Using liquid thread lock
Risk of injury due screw connections ripping out

Required tools and materials:
Socket
adapter,
501S41=M6X45
506G3=M3X5-"Niro" set screw, 710D4 torque wrench, torque
wrench (adjustable to 0.5 Nm)
1) Align the shuttle lock such that the magnet is aligned proximally
and the ratchet unit medially or laterally.
2) Set the shuttle lock on to the prosthetic socket (see fig. 13).
3) Optional: Position the 4X314 spacer plate and then the 6A41
slide plate on the shuttle lock.
4) Position the chosen socket adapter on the shuttle lock.
5) Select the flat head screws for the socket adapter:
For 4R54: 501S41=M6x45
For 4R77: 501S41=M6x50
6) Insert the flat head screws through the socket adapter and the
shuttle lock into the lamination adapter and tighten them (see
fig. 14) (tightening torque: 12 Nm).
7) Screw the ratchet unit (see fig. 15, item 1) into the shuttle lock
and tighten with the torque wrench (tightening torque: 10 Nm).
8) Secure the ratchet unit with the set screw (see fig. 15, item 2)
(tightening torque: 0.5 Nm).
5.3 Mounting the pin
CAUTION
Installation of the pin in a liner that is not approved
Risk of injury due to loosening of the screw connection
