1) Transfer the position of the lamination ring to the shaped part (Fig. 2).
2) Apply 640Z5=* Plaster Insulating Cream to the inner side of the lamina-
tion ring and fill with light putty (Fig. 3/4). Using the light putty, transfer
the inner contours of the lamination ring to the shaped foam part (Fig. 5
12S7
1) Individually adapt the shoulder support by bending and shortening. To
avoid damages to the shoulder support during bending, we recommend
using the 711S4 and 711S5 Bending Irons (Fig. 6/7).
2) Transfer the position of the shoulder support to the shaped part (Fig. 8).
3) Apply 640Z5=* Plaster Insulating Cream to the shoulder support and
fill with light putty (Fig. 9/10). Using the light putty, transfer the inner
contours of the shoulder support to the shaped foam part (Fig. 11/12).
Fabrication of the outer socket
The fabrication of the outer socket is described in the following at the
example of the 12S4 Ottobock Shoulder Joint:
1) Prior to lamination, the free swinging range and length adaptation must
be checked.
2) Disassemble the lamination ring or shoulder support from the Ottobock
Shoulder Joint.
3) Laminate the outer socket over the shaped part and lamination ring /
shaped part and shoulder support. Use 616G12 Carbon Fibre Cloth in
the transition area from outer socket to lamination ring / outer socket to
shoulder support in order to achieve secure force transmission between
the outer socket and modular arm component (Fig. 13). In the area of
the fixing holes, use the 507S15 Steel Washer with hole.
4) Once the laminate of the outer socket has cured, laminate the cap for
later attachment of the cosmetic foam cover. This will allow easy dis-
assembly of the cosmetic foam cover when changing the friction setting
on the Ottobock Shoulder Joint. For this purpose, pull three layers of
623T3=* Perlon Stockinette over the outer socket, which serve as spacer
between the outer socket and cap.
5) Lay a PVA bag over the Perlon Stockinette for laminating the cap onto.
Again, use 616G12 Carbon Fibre Cloth and the 507S15 Steel Washer
with hole for better force transmission (Fig. 14).
