Adapting The Liner; Optional: Attaching The Pin - Ottobock Liner Instrucciones De Uso

► Liner too large: Increased perspiration, rotation of the residual
limb in the liner, formation of blisters, skin rash
1) TF liner: Measure the residual limb circumference5 cm proximal
of the residual limb end.
TT liner: Measure the residual limb circumference 4 cm proximal
of the residual limb end.
2) CAUTION! Reduce by a maximum of 1 liner size to avoid
excessive compression.
Select the liner size that corresponds to the resulting measure­
ment. Alternatively the next smaller size can be chosen.
3) Check the fit of the liner.

5.2 Adapting the liner

INFORMATION
Liners with a threaded connection have an integrated matrix. The
matrix prevents excessive expansion of the material. The length of
the matrix is based on the liner's domain of application. Liners with
a matrix in the distal are particularly well suited for TT prostheses.
Liners with a matrix over the entire length are usually used for TF
prostheses.
INFORMATION
Copolymer liners are thermoformable. For this purpose, pull the
liner over a dry plaster positive and optionally wrap it in an elastic
bandage.
► 6Y90, 6Y92, 6Y94: convection oven, 70° C, 2 h
► 6Y93, 6Y94=*-F, 6Y95: convection oven, 65° C, 15 min
Recommended tools for liners with textile cover: 719S7 trim­
>
ming scissors, 719S20 scissors for synthetic fibres or convention­
al straight edge scissors
Recommended tools for liners without textile cover: 756L9
>
trimming device, 756L10 liner trimmer or conventional straight
edge scissors
► NOTICE! Do not use wave edge scissors.
TT liner: Cut the liner horizontally at the required length. Make
sure a smooth cutting edge is obtained to prevent the material
from tearing.
TF liner: Cut the liner according to the trim line. The liner always
has to end outside the prosthetic socket.

5.3 Optional: attaching the pin

INFORMATION
The shape of the prosthetic socket must allow load on the end of the
residual limb.
The pin to connect the liner to the shuttle lock is screwed into the
thread at the distal end of the liner.
> Required materials: Torque wrench (adjustable to 3 Nm),
636K13 Loctite
1) Apply Loctite to the thread.
2) NOTICE! Do not shorten flexible pins and pins with one-way
valve.
Screw the pin into the thread and tighten it (installation torque:
3 Nm).
6 Use
CAUTION
Use of powder (e.g. baby powder or talcum)
Skin irritation on the residual limb and loss of function of prosthetic
components due to clogging with particles or deprivation of lubric­
ant
