  • Page 7 2.2 Socket Fabrication Figure 4. Coaxial Plug While fabricating the socket for the i-limb ultra revolution, special considerations will need to be given to: 1. Battery placement, size and configuration 2. Electrode position or other control method 3. Charge port placement 4.
  • Page 8 2.3 Charge Port Placement Assembly It is important to provide sufficient space for the charge port between the inner and outer sockets. The charge port should be positioned so that it is unaffected by forces running through the socket to prevent damage. Create a drill hole of 8.0mm through the inner surface of the prosthetic frame.
  • Page 9 2.4 Battery Options Two battery options are available for the i-limb ultra revolution, both of which have been specifically designed to meet the power requirements of the hand. Battery selection should be based on available space within the socket fabrication, shape of the residual limb and the expected level of use.
