For active patients, or those with hydraulic ankles, ensure a lasting bond remains
between the Foam Cover & the Foot Shell by tapering the top of the Foot Shell and
the inside of the distal end of the Foam Cover.
Follow These Recommended Steps:
1.
Be sure to cut Foam Cover longer.
Add 1/2” to 3/4” (1.5 cm to 2 cm)
additional length so that it will overlap to top edge of the Foot Shell.
2. Taper inside of distal end of Foam Cover at a 45° angle.
3. Grind square edge of top portion of foot at 45° angle.
4.
Glue foam completely
to angled top edge of Foot Shell
with barge/poly-adhesive glue.
5. Grind foam for a smooth transition of foot to ankle.
