Don the liner.
Apply the lubricating cream to the outside of the liner.
This allows the liner to move in the prosthetic socket.
Don the prosthetic socket.
Ask the patient to stand on the plaster device and dis­
tribute the load equally between the prosthetic socket
and the contralateral side.
Check the fit of the prosthetic socket as described in
the following steps. Correct any deviations.
• If the compression is insufficient, the liner FitKit can
be used to compensate for the deviations.
• If the compression is excessive, the thermoplastic
check socket can be heated with a hot air blower
and adapted.
The flow properties of the liner and thus the good fit of
the prosthetic socket are verified by comparing the pos­
ition of points on the liner with the circles on the pros­
thetic socket.
The points on the liner must move in a proximal direc­
tion.
Horizontal (from the point of view of the indi­
•
vidual rows): The flow properties of the points on
the liner must be identical.
Vertical (looking at the points in the individual
•
columns): The distance between the points and the
associated circles must increase from the distal to
the proximal direction.
TIP: Insufficient compression can also be seen from
extended skin redness.
The flow properties of the liner and the fit of the pros­
thetic socket are correct.
