Casting
Preparing the Resin Injection Tool
1. Cover the working area and the floor with protective sheeting.
2. Remove the parts from the packaging.
3. Shake the resin cartridge before use.
4. Lightly turn off the cap from the resin cartridge. The cap will lift off the green safety pin.
5. Remove the metal safety ring from the green safety pin.
6. Remove the green safety pin and discard it.
7. Put the cap onto the static mixer (Figure 24).
8. Push the static mixer 1 cm / 0.4 inches deep into the injection tube (Figure 25).
9. Turn the cap tight to safely attach the static mixer to the resin cartridge (Figure 25).
10. Keep the resin cartridge pointed up and insert it into the resin injection tool.
11. Lightly press the handle to secure the resin cartridge until it softly connects to bottom of the cartridge.
12. Keep the resin injection tool with the cartridge pointed up and sit in front of the patient.
13. The technician fully attaches the injection tube to the injection valve (Figure 26).
Resin Injection
WARNING: Make sure the injection tube is fully secured to the static mixer and injection valve. If the tube is not
fully secured, the resin can erupt when it is injected.
NOTE: Resin shall be injected gradually and spread evenly towards the proximal end. Excessive resin injected at
the distal end can cause the resin to get hot and cure faster. This will make it harder to inject more resin.
1. Keep the resin injection tool pointed up while you start to inject the resin slowly (Figure 27).
2. When resin has saturated the distal area, injection speed can be increased.
3. The technician slowly pulls the resin into the interior and upwards, pushing out the air during resin injection.
4. Control the resin flow to the rear side of the residual limb while you maintain a slow build-up.
NOTE: Make sure to spread and saturate the braids before the resin starts to cure.
5. Use the lanyard cord to push the resin around the socket. Make sure to sature the braids with resin up to and
above the expected trimline (Figure 28).
6. Stop the resin flow when the fiber braids are saturated. To stop, push the pressure release lever on the grip of
the resin injection tool (Figure 29).
7. Use pliers on crimp rings to shut off resin flow in the injection tube (Figure 30).
8. Place side cutter between the two crimp rings and cut through the injection tube.
Resin Curing
1. Tell the patient to slowly extend the residual limb while the resin is still warm.
2. Scars and muscle attachments can change the shape of the residual limb during hip extension. Stretch the
outer layer of silicone insulation sheet up when you mold the distal end to hold the fiber braids in place.
3. Do not allow the resin to build up at the distal end. If necessary, massage the resin of the socket when it cures
to correctly shape.
Casting Disassembly
After 10 minutes do as follows:
1. Remove the tape from the taping ring.
2. Remove the two O-rings.
3. Remove the air escape tube
4. Remove the outer layer of silicone insulation sheet.
5. Remove the distal attachment nut and the tape ring.
6. Remove the socket from the residual limb.
7. Pull the inner layer of silicone insulation sheet and the silicone insulation cap out of the socket.
8. For vacuum suspension only: break off the injection valve to seal the injection channel. Screwing out the valve
can cause air leak and compromise the vacuum suspension.
9. For other suspension methods: Unscrew the injection valve. Do not break off the valve. The Icelock 214 can not
be assembled if valve is not removed.
