Trimming The Device; Donning The Device - Blatchford SBTTLP22L Instrucciones De Uso

9 Trimming the Device

The device may be trimmed to suit as required but never bellow the socket trim line.
We recommend using a rotating disc cutter to achieve a bevelled edge.
Leave enough material on the device so that its proximal edge can cover the edge of the socket.
Avoid trimming through the perforations.
Trim the proximal edge of the device to suit the shape of the user's socket.
If necessary, trim the proximal edge of the device in a wave pattern to reduce shear stress.
Where possible try to avoid abrupt changes of contour and sharp edges
which could cause tears in the silicone and fabric.

10 Donning the Device

Before you begin
Fit the valve. (See Fitting the Valve section.)
Care must be taken during
donning/doffing not to damage the
device with fingernails, sharp
jewelry or the locking pin.
Do NOT pull or stretch the device.
1. Invert the device so that its silicone side points
externally.
2. Align the locking pin with the long axis of the
residual limb.
3. Roll the device on the residual limb while releasing
any trapped air.
Note: The unperforated fabric should be below the
patella tendon.
After donning the device, allow the user to wear it for
10 minutes. If the user feels numbness, tingling or any
unusual sensation within 10 minutes, do the following:
4. Doff the device, and wait until normal sensation
returns.
5. Don the device again.
6. If the user feels numbness, tingling or any unusual
sensation again, stop using the device.
