3) (see fig. 5) If extra reinforcement is required, use double-sided adhesive tape to affix carbon
fibre cloth to the first layer of the Perlon stockinette as a frame structure.
4) Pull the second layer of Perlon stockinette downwards over the carbon fibre cloth.
→ Check whether the Perlon stockinette is still in the proximal groove.
5) Cut off 2 double-length layers of Perlon stockinette once more.
6) Turn the Perlon stockinette inside out.
7) (see fig. 6) Pull 1 layer of Perlon stockinette over the socket and tie it off in the distal groove.
8) Pull down the second layer of the Perlon stockinette.
→ Check whether the Perlon stockinette is still in the distal groove.
9) Laminate the socket.
Finishing the socket
1) (see fig. 7) Once lamination has been completed, melt the screw holes for the lamination ring
through the socket from the inside.
2) Drill the screw holes from the outside using a 4 mm drill bit and then countersink the screw
holes on the outside.
3) Insert the supplied screws in the holes and check whether the screws protrude at least
4.5 mm into the interior.
→ If the screw length is too short, use longer screws. Please see the section "Technical
data" for approved screws (see page 13).
6.1.2 Connecting the Michelangelo Hand with the socket
8
Once the socket has been completed, the rotational position of the Michelangelo Hand needs to
be checked.
1) (see fig. 8) Loosen the 5 screws in the connection plate slightly and twist the hand. A correc­
tion of ± 15 ° is possible.
2) Then tighten the screws to a torque of 1.5 Nm.
3) (see fig. 9) Apply silicone grease to the connector plugs and connect them.
→ Position the cables and plugs such that they will not be damaged when putting on the
Michelangelo Hand.
4) Place the hand on the socket.
5) (see fig. 10) Insert the provided screws into the bore holes on the sides and tighten them to
1.5 Nm.
6.2 Donning the prosthetic glove
For daily use, the Michelangelo Hand must be worn with the AxonSkin prosthetic glove. The glove
protects the mechanism against environmental influences such as moisture, dirt and dust.
For information about the use (putting on and taking off) and care of the prosthetic glove, please
refer to the instructions for use included with the prosthetic glove.
INFORMATION
Do not use silicone spray when putting on the prosthetic glove. This impairs the secure fit of the
glove and can limit the functionality of the product (hand).
