PROTECTIVE COVER ON DOME
Remove the protective cover on dome after alignment is completed and before patient leaves clinic.
ENDOSKELETAL MOUNTING
Use only high quality proximal endoskeletal components (30 mm).
EXOSKELETAL MOUNTING
1.
Remove Exo Ankle Bone, then attach to College Park Exo Block with anti-rotation pin(s) oriented.
Apply Loctite
242 to mounting bolt. Torque to 61 N·m (45 ft·lbs). To skip alignment and lamination,
®
go to Step 9.
2.
If using the align-able Exo option, attach Exo Pyramid Tool to Exo Block with four 6 mm screws.
Torque to 15 N·m (11 ft·lbs).
3.
Attach 30 mm endo components to the Exo Pyramid Tool and temporarily mount the socket.
4.
Re-attach the ankle bone to foot, donning CPI Sock and foot shell, then perform a dynamic alignment.
5.
Remove foot from Exo Block.
6.
Mount aligned prosthesis in transfer jig. Lock socket and Exo Block in position.
7.
Remove endo components and Exo Pyramid Tool.
8.
Use desired method to span Exo Block to the socket and remove from jig. Shape and laminate to desired
finish. Do not remove foam from the top of the Exo Block.
9.
Re-attach ankle bone to foreheel. Re-assemble foot, don CPI Sock and foot shell.
For growth plate assembly, refer to the Venture Growth Plate Kit Instruction Sheet (included with growth plates).
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
10.
Use the Foot Horn to don and doff the foot shell. Remove the CPI Sock and replace as needed.
11.
Use a 4 mm hex key to reduce the preload on the bumpers by turning the Stride Control adjuster
counter-clockwise. Record the number of turns for use in re-assembly.
12.
Use a 6 mm and 4 mm hex keys to remove the axial pin screw.
13.
Attach the pin guide to the axial pin. Push and rotate clockwise.
14.
Unscrew the axial pin from the pin guide and remove it from the ankle bone.
15.
Remove the ankle bone from the foreheel to access the front and rear bumpers and ankle bushings.
16.
For re-assembly, lubricate the axial pin, inside and outside of the ankle bushings and ankle bushing pocket,
then reverse steps 1-4. Torque axial pin screw to 4 N·m (36 in·lbs).
Do not lubricate front and rear bumpers.
STATIC ALIGNMENT
For optimal function have the patient's weight balanced between the forefoot and heel. The load line divides the
foot at 1/3 heel lever and 2/3 toe lever.
STRIDE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The adjustable Stride Control
response by either turning it clockwise/ counterclockwise. This adjustment affects both plantar and dorsiflexion
resistance without the need to change soft components.
The Venture ships with a medium Stride Control setting. If new bumpers are fitted, set the preload to 2-turns
(medium preload) from the point of initial contact with the ankle bone.
If an additional 1-1/2 turns are required to attain the desired resistance, then a change in bumpers is recommended.
