Sinking too deeply into the cushion
would considerably impair the pressure
distribution on the stump.
Practical tip: For bulbous stumps, use
cutting aid on cast as well so that cast
can be easily removed.
Please make sure that the stump sinks
completely into the cylinder at the desi-
red proximal socket edge (observe linear
measure of the system depth).
Once patient is positioned, continue to fill
the cylinder with water using the „+ but-
ton“ until the patient feels a slight pressu-
re. Once a pressure of 400mbar is achie-
ved, as indicated on the gage, instruct
the patient to bear full weight onto the
limb and into the cylinder. Once patient
is bearing full weight, continue to fill the
cylinder (using the „+ button“ to the desi-
red pressure as determined previously by
the VC app.
During the impression process, pressu-
re should be kept constant. Observe the
condition of the patient.
The pressure level determined by the app
is only an approximate value!
For safety reasons, have a handhold or
supportive device ready. The resulting
normal displacement of soft tissue takes
place during the forming of the plaster
impression. The plaster hardens while
the limb is in a
completely weight bearing
and static state.
During the setting time, the patient can
give you valuable information regarding
socket volume and bony structures of
the stump. This gives the practitioner
valuable information to guide any modi-
fication of the plaster cast that might be
needed. (Check circumference!)
After the plaster dressing has hardened,
instruct the patient to reduces the load
on the amputated side.
Using the „- button“, drain water until
there is no longer pressure in the sys-
tem. The remaining water is then pum-
ped out of the system by using the „re-
set“ button.
Important: In order to avoid sinking
deeper into the distal bearing cushion,
tell the patient to slowly pull the stump
out of the system, as the water pressure
decreases.
Next, remove the film, after which the
plaster impression is removed by slowly
pulling it from the stump. Empty the sys-
tem completely and remove the height
adjusting components.Begin the pro-
cess of producing a test socket.
