POSTERIOR AND ANTERIOR SPACER CHANGE (FIGURE 4)

Please refer to the Össur Prosthetic Solutions catalog for replacement
part details.
To replace:
• Remove the foot cover and Spectra sock from the device.
• Compress the posterior spacer to expose the anterior spacer
(Figure 4.1).*
• Remove the anterior spacer.
• Position the foot in maximum dorsiflexion to expose and remove the
posterior spacer (Figure 4.2).
• Replace with new posterior spacer, ensuring the spacer is fully seated
(Figure 4.3).
• Compress the posterior spacer to expose the anterior spacer
(Figure 4.4).*
• Replace with new anterior spacer, ensuring the spacer is fully seated.
*Place the wedge included in the replacement kit between the bottom
and middle blades to ease posterior spacer compression.
N.B. Ensure the wedge is removed before using the device.
FOOT COVERS AND SPECTRA SOCKS (Figure 5)
• The device is designed to be used with a recommended foot cover
and Spectra sock.
• Use a shoehorn when fitting and removing foot covers to avoid damage.
• Ensure the device is placed completely into the foot cover when fitting.
• The middle section of the spectra sock must cover the top blade of
the device to ensure it doesn't interfere with the movement of the
blades (Figure 6).
• The foot cover should only be used with intended Össur products.
N.B. The device should not be used without a recommended foot cover
and Spectra sock.

immediately, and dried with a lint-free cloth.

diving or jumping into water.
