4) Carefully bend open the ankle protector and place it over the retaining ring (see fig. 7).
Make sure that one of the circumferential sleeves on the retaining ring is engaged in the

Depending upon the sleeve you select, the distance of the ankle protector to the joint plane of
the foot can be adjusted to approx. 5 mm.

6.3 Cutting the tube protector to length

Adjusting the length of the tube protector is required because of different lower leg lengths of
patients.
1) Measure the distance between the ankle protector and bottom of the joint (see fig. 10).
2) Add 12 mm to this measurement.
3) Transfer the total measurement onto the tube protector (see fig. 11).
Transfer the total measurement from the tube end which shows locking sleeves (see fig. 11,
arrows).
4) Use linen adhesive tape to clamp the tube protector together at both ends in order to ensure
the tube will remain stable when cut off.
5) Cut the tube protector to length at the marks using a saw (see fig. 12).
6) Deburr the cut edge.
