Product Specifications Usage of the SPL2 knee joint system provides optimum care for patients with paresis/paralyses (e.g. polio) and contributes to a successful therapeutic treatment. This articulating system is meant to compensate weakened or complete failure of the knee extension function. The joint is available in two different versions: a. unilateral joint or b. bilateral joint.

Function SPL2 Technical Features The technique of the SPL2 (Swing Phase Lock) joint is based on a simple internal pendulum mechanism, which locks and unlocks the knee depending on the angle of the knee joint in the sagittal plane. During gait, the device locks at the end of swing phase, just prior to heel strike, and unlocks the knee at heel off in preparation for swing.
(Mode 1). Cleaning & Disinfection Instructions The SPL2 joint may not be greased, oiled, or lubricated in any way. To clean, use naphtha or similar cleaning fluid or compressed air. Do not use acetone, dilutions or turpentine, etc.

When the joint is used in a carbon fiber-reinforced construction, the SPL2 should be disassembled by removing the satellite. Disconnect the cable within the function unit (G) and loosen the IQ set screws (D), loosen the adjustment screw, and gently pull the cable from the housing.
Mode 1. Adjust the proximal adjustment screw (F) on the SPL2 as necessary. Figure A • Check to see if the SPL2 joint lock after swing with the satellite in Mode 1. If it cannot lock,… Adjusting Locking and Unlocking...

For this purpose the central button on the satellite is to be pressed for the slider to slid fully down. This is a safety mode in which the SPL2 joint is constantly locked when in full extension (e.g. at home, making many turns, etc.).

Shortening the Satellite Cable First determine the position where the satellite will be mounted on the thigh cuff of the orthosis in order to establish the correct cable length. Bear in mind that the cable should have a slight S-shape. Position the joint in full extension and set the satellite in Mode 3 by pressing the button on Figure 1...

the excess outer cable. The inner steel cable will be shortened in step 13. Now slide the inner cable through the bottom of the swivel connector into the satellite housing and screw the Teflon outer cable onto the swivel. Place the swivel in one hand between your thumb and forefinger and the Teflon cable in the other hand between Figure 5...

Determine the exact position where the satellite is to be mounted on the thigh cuff and contour the bracket if necessary. Mount the mounting bracket on the brace and reattach the satellite using the screws at the front again. Use the provided cable clamps to attach the satellite cable in order to ensure an optimal, flat resting cable run against the thigh cuff of the orthosis.
