13) Cut a piece of carbon fibre woven hose (1.3 times the length of the
plaster positive).
14) Pull the carbon fibre woven hose over the plaster positive to the socket
edge. Tie the upper section of the carbon fibre woven hose and fold the
remaining length over the plaster positive (see fig. 11).
15) Cut a piece of Perlon stockinette (twice the length of the plaster posit
ive).
16) Pull the Perlon stockinette over the plaster positive up to the socket
edge. Tie the upper section of the Perlon stockinette and fold the
remaining length over the plaster positive.
17) Soak the longer PVA bag and pull it over the plaster positive.
18) Perform the casting process with Orthocryl.
19) Finish the prosthetic socket (see Page 22).

1) Prepare for fabrication of the prosthetic socket (see Page 19).
2) Soak the shorter PVA bag and pull it over the plaster positive.
3) Pull a layer of Perlon stockinette over the plaster positive.
4) Place a layer of carbon fibre cloth strap circularly 3 cm below the peri
neum.
5) Place a layer of carbon fibre cloth strap medially and laterally as well as
anteriorly and posteriorly from the shuttle lock up to the circular carbon
fibre cloth strap.
6) Place a layer of carbon fibre cloth strap circularly 3 cm below the peri
neum.
7) Cut two pieces of carbon fibre cloth strap (length approx. 20 cm).
8) Form the carbon fibre cloth straps into Vs by folding them in the middle
and position them in the area of the tuberosity support.
9) Pull a tube sock over the plaster positive.
10) Loop a piece of string around the lamination adapter in the groove and
tie tightly.
11) Cut a piece of carbon UD hose (1.5 times the length of the plaster posit
