Trimming the Device
The device may be trimmed to suit as required but never below the socket trim line.
We recommend using a rotating disc cutter to achieve a bevelled edge.
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.
