4 - Final Assembly

- Position of the lamination anchor (3) : lateral or medial. If positioning is wrong, the lamination anchor (3)
will have no support. This may cause a very high stress on the screwed adapter and break it. If the body of
the locking mechanism (4) is too loose from the lamination anchor (3), it may break with in a risk of
falling for the patient and thus injury.
- During alignment the body of the locking mechanism (4) must not be unscrewed from the lamination
anchor (3) by more than half a turn.
- For a correct position of the lamination anchor (3), refer to figure 8. Make sure that the release button (7)
is positioned on the side of the clamping screw of the lamination anchor (3).
4.1 - Assembly of the lamination anchor (3)
Shape the prongs of the lamination anchor (3) according to the socket outline.
- Bend the prongs of the lamination anchor (3) using the appropriate craft processes. In the event of
improper implementation, the steel may crack.
- Never bend the prongs of the lamination anchor (3) when the body of the aluminum locking mechanism
(4) is screwed because this may damage the aluminum thread and destroy it. When shaping the prongs of
the lamination anchor (3), use either a steel or titanium adapter, or the 1K17910 steel bending spacer (6)
screwed in M36 and tighten the cylinder head screw at 10 Nm. After bending, the area of the prongs that
has been shaped must be polished to remove rough edges.
-The lock must always be placed in the extension of the stump, never in the buid line. This may require
assembling a translation adapter.
Remove the locking mechanism (4) from the lamination anchor (3). Coat the thread of the lamination anchor (3)
and of the cylinder head screw with a silicone release agent, then screw the positioning tool (2).
During lamination, the positioning tool (2) must be screwed and the cylinder head screw must be tightened to 4 Nm.
Protect the slot of the lamination anchor with Plastiline.
If you have placed a rod in the cast to position the lock, place the spherical part of the positioning tool (1) on this
rod in the plaster positive. If you are working without a positioning rod, attach the spherical part of the positioning
tool (1) to the appropriate position. Insulate the plaster and spherical part of the positioning tool (1) with a PVA
bag. All reinforcement materials placed before the lamination anchor (3) must be bound to the base of the spherical
positioning tool (1). Place the lamination anchor (3) with the positioning tool (2) screwed onto the spherical
positioning tool (1).
Make sure that the direction of the lamination anchor (3) has not changed.
The reinforcement materials which have been placed after the lamination anchor (3) can be bound directly to the
positioning tool (2). Insulate the reinforcement with a PVA bag and laminate the socket.
Remove positioning tool (2), plaster and spherical positioning tool (1). Also remove the laminated resin edge at the
distal part of the lamination anchor (3). Screw the body of the locking mechanism (4) until it stops in the lamination
anchor (3) and tighten the clamping screw of the lamination anchor (3).
Tighten the cylindrical head screw with an appropriate wrench.
Tightening torque : 10 Nm
When finishing the prosthesis, coat the threads of the screw with Loctite® XC047. Place the adapter in the distal
screw connection of the locking mechanism body (4). Check the function of the locking mechanism (4) with the
appropriate locking pin (5).
