Actual measurements of all inner hands differ from those shown, as they
are reduced by the wall thickness of the cosmetic glove. If the inner hand
is to be used for a partial hand replacement a „T“ must be added to the
article number for ordering (e.g. 8S8=165x72LT).
3 Handling
3.1 Inner hand/Prosthetic glove selection
The size of the prosthetic glove is determinig for inner hand selection. The
inner hand with the prosthetic glove of the corresponding size form func-
tional unit of the passive prosthesis hand:
Size range Inner hand Prosthetic glove
Children
8S9=* 8S6(*)=*
Women
8S8=* 8S5(*)=*
Men
8S7=* 8S4(*)=*
Example: The prosthetic glove such as 8S5 of the certain size can only
be combined with an 8S8 Inner Hand of the size of the selected glove. In
case of changing the prosthetic glove size, the inner hand size must also
be changed accordingly.
The inner hands for partial hand prosthesis are fabricated without steel
wire reinforcement. Therefore, they are individually adaptable.
The inner hands for children with metacarpal circumference <150 mm are
fabricated without steel wire reinforcement. However, as standard inner
hands have different material properties than inner hands for partial hand
prosthesis, the inner hand for partial hand prosthesis must always be used
for the fitting of the partial hand amputations.
3.2 Assembly
The application of the moderate layer of 633S2 Procomfort Gel on the inner
hand facilitates the donning of the prosthetic glove on the inner hand. Do
not use
silicone spray (see notice in Section 2.3) or coloured substances
(such as disinfectants). The colour pigments may migrate into the glove or
inner hand and cause discolouration.
To avoid damaging, use the 711M1 Hand Holding Tool while pulling on the
glove. The 711M2 Mounting Plate is used for attaching the Hand Holding
Tool to a workbench. For more information about the assembly of the pros-
thetic glove please refer the instructions for use of the particular glove type.
