Cutting Off And Gluing In The Fabric Adhesive Strips - Ottobock Varos 5A60-Serie Gebrauchsanweisung

The socket shells can be re-shaped with a hot air gun if needed.
The following areas can be re-shaped:
• Lateral socket shell in the area between the Boa dials (to bring the lateral socket brim into
contact with the body) (see fig. 13)
• Anterior section of the socket brim (increase the outward flare) (see fig. 14)
• Medial and lateral socket shell with distal area directly next to the side rail guides (reduce
socket cross-section in the distal area)
• Area of the socket brim pad (to optimise pressure distribution in this area)
INFORMATION
When heating the socket shells with the hot air gun, make sure to heat them evenly (from the
inside and outside of the socket). Excessive heating causes glossy areas on the matt surface of
the socket shells.

6.3.2 Cutting off and gluing in the fabric adhesive strips

Complete the following steps to attach the fabric adhesive strips:
1) Clean the recesses on the inside of the socket shells with isopropanol.
2) Position the fabric adhesive strips in the corresponding recesses and make a mark 2 mm
away from the cut edge (see fig. 15).
3) Trim the fabric adhesive strips at the markings, rounding the edges.
4) Pull the fabric adhesive strips off the backing and glue them into the recesses (see fig. 16).
INFORMATION: Note the alignment of the fabric adhesive strips: The hairs on the fab­
ric adhesive strips point down, which makes donning easier and improves the hold
while wearing.
