carbon clips.
Tendons Set Up
Once the Crossover™ knee build has been completed and the X/CLIP™
connectors have been secured to the socket you can apply the tendons by
simply slipping the tendon half ball end from the top of the connector
(tendon may be tight when brand new, use of small amount of lubricant or
rubbing alcohol can ease placement and removal of the tendon into con-
nector)
and sliding it down in locking into place.
Next, flex the assembled prosthetic and knee allowing the tendon ball end
to hang down so as you can easily secure the ball end into the lower ten-
don connector
(best to do one side at a time),
making sure that the ball is
completely secured into the recessed position of the lower connector. Reat-
tach the locking back plate and torque screws to 8mm.
Finally, extend the prosthesis to full extension. Now stretch the tendon “Lift
and Set” onto the tendon guide wheel groove, making sure that tendon is
not “rolled” into the groove as it will want to twist out of groove. Also, check
that the tendon is seated behind the small guide wheel on the lower knee
frame, allowing for a straight pull from the lower connector.
Crossflex™
Wedges Set Up
Crossflex™ preflexion wedges are easy for the user to install and require
NO
tools. Crossflex™ wedges are only used during sport activities.
While the leg is on, simply flex the leg so the upper knee opening is at its
widest point.
Insert the narrow end of the Crossflex™ wedge into the open knee cavity.
The foam hook will create a lock on the inside of the knee holding the
wedge in place.
Remove in reverse, being careful not to tear or damage the foam.
Note: See video at www.leftsideindustries.com for example.
