4. Drill through housing dummy into cast using a sharp 3 mm drill bit.
Take care to align drill with centerline (Fig. 5).
5. Remove housing dummy (X
(C) / mesh filter (D) and then screw in the expulsion housing (E) / E2
connector (F) (Fig. 6).
Note: When inserting the housing/connector, make sure that the seal/
valve/mesh is not crooked, otherwise the housing may not hold
vacuum properly.
6. Place large seal (G) / O-ring (H) below housing. Complete assembly
with the plate (I/J/K/L), applying medium strength thread locker to
4-hole screws and torque twice to 10 Nm (Fig. 7).
Note: Make sure threads are clean and provide full engagement of
screws without resistance. Only use screws supplied with kit.
7. [For L-544611, L-544612 and L-544613] Secure Unity tube to the
connector on the plate (J/K).
Laminated Socket Procedure
1. Drape a layer of ~3 mm PETG or equivalent rigid thermoplastic sheet
over cast positive (Fig. 8). Roughen distal area.
Note: Distal area must be clean of dirt, dust, and grease, as otherwise
the bonding connection may not work.
2. Screw housing dummy (X
designated 2-component PU adhesive putty, bond the adapter
assembly to desired location directly on thermoplastic layer (Fig. 10).
Take care to fill the center area for a bubble free bond between
housing dummy and thermoplastic layer.
3. Remove housing dummy (X
adapter (Fig. 11).
4. Tie reinforcement material in groove on socket adapter and do a
second tie between socket and adapter. Apply the reinforcement
material layup to agree with the expected stress (Fig. 12).
5. Apply PVA bag and impregnate laminate with conventional methods
(Fig. 13).
6. Tie around lamination dummy with electrical tape to push out the
resin between the PVA bag and dummy. This will produce clean edge
and minimize finishing work (Fig. 13).
7. Once resin has set, drill through lamination dummy (X
a sharp 3 mm drill bit. Take care to align drill with centerline (Fig. 14).
8. Remove excess resin, PVA bag and lamination dummy (X
plaster from inside of socket.
9. Place seal (B) / duckbill valve (C) / mesh filter (D) and then screw in
the expulsion housing (E) / E2 connector (F) (Fig. 15).
Note: When inserting the housing/connector, make sure that the seal/
valve/mesh is not crooked, otherwise the housing may not hold
vacuum properly.
10. Place large seal (G) / O-ring (H) below housing. Complete assembly
with the plate (I/J/K/L), applying medium strength thread locker to
4-hole screws and torque twice to 10 Nm (Fig. 16).
Note: Make sure threads are clean and provide full engagement of
screws without resistance. Only use screws supplied with kit.
11. [For L-544611, L-544612 and L-544613] Secure Unity tube to the
connector on the plate (J/K).
USAGE
Icelock 544 series components that are equipped with a release button
(I/K/L) require the patient to press the release button when doffing the
prosthesis in case of an internal seal, like Iceross Seal-In products.
