ALP Aluminum - English
Removal of socket
When the lamination is fully hardened, remove excess material from the distal end of the Sealed Lami-
nation Adapter by cutting of grinding so that protective paper on the distal side of the adapter is visible.
DO NOT
grind onto the material of the adapter. Trim the proximal part of the socket and remove it from
the positive mould.
Before patient fitting
Grind the edges of the socket and smoothen all edges. Mount a CSS valve if it is being used
.
Completion
To avoid damaging forces onto the centre bolt that can result in breakage, it is
VERY IMPORTANT
that
before delivering a prosthesis with an ALU-ALP adapter you need to;
1.
Mark the position of the instrument with a marker onto the lamination adapter.
2.
Open the angle adjustment screws one full turn (it is important to open all screws with the
same amount in order not to change the alignment).
3.
Tighten the centre bolt.
4.
Make sure that there is no contact between the flat surface and the angle adjustment screws.
If that is the case, open the adjustment screws one additional turn. Repeat if necessary.
5.
Tighten the centre bolt with 20 Nm. The centre bolt now has the right pre tension.
6.
Tighten the angle adjustment screws, all with the same amount of turns. This to ensure that the
alignment is kept.
7.
Loosen the angle adjustment screws one by one and add Loctite 243, or similar, over the whole
threaded surface. Tighten with 10 Nm.
