3.8.1 Transferring the adapter position
Objective
The transfer device is used to transfer the adapter position from the check prosthesis to the definitive prosthesis.
The check socket is then filled with plaster and adapted to the plaster model.
Required tools and materials
• 743A160 transfer device, oscillating saw, tape measure, 716Y3 half-round file, 716Y4 round file, 649G22=180
grit cloth
Remove all parts used for the check socket of the liner
FitKit.

check socket should be made.
Transfer the adapter position of the check prosthesis to
the transfer device.
Fill the check socket with plaster to secure the vacuum
pipe.
Remove the plaster model from the check socket.
Prepare the plaster model for the lamination process.
Reduce the plaster model according to the parts of the
liner FitKit used:
•
Thick residual limb sock:
Reduce the circumfer­
ence by
5 mm
• Spot: Reduce the plaster model locally by 2 mm
