Lamination procedure
The lamination process is unique to each prosthesis and will vary depending on the
local technique used.
Position the Lamination Ring in an orientation that provides the user with the
maximum benefit from the 90° of rotation available. The dorsal midline of the
hand aligns with the centre of the rotation notch when the hand is in the centre of
rotation, 45° of pronation or supination is available on either side of this.
An example orientation is shown in figure 1; in this orientation the palm faces
directly down in the fully pronated position, and horizontally in the fully supinated
position. The clinician may choose alternative orientations to suit the individual
needs of the wearer.
Use the Masking Plug to protect the mechanism during the lamination.

Lubrication and cleaning
Cleaning and lubricating the running surfaces of the Low Profile Wrist must be
performed annually, and is recommended each time the hand is removed from the
prosthesis after extended use. This is to ensure the best possible user experience
with the product and to help maintain the functionality of the wrist rotation.
1. Carefully remove the O-ring from the Lamination Ring and remove any dirt or old
lubricant using denatured alcohol or dish detergent.
2. Check the O-ring for damage or degradation to the smooth surface.
Discard and replace if there is sign of wear, tears, degradation or damage at a
minimum of once per year.
3. Re-lubricate the O-ring using the provided Low Profile Wrist Lubricant.
Smear this around the O-ring to create a light film.
