Donning the Cosmetic Glove
21
The Elegance Plus glove is designed to be used with the Myo Kinisi, however, a
number of alternative gloves may also be applied. For the best results, please see
the instructions supplied with the glove you are fitting.

Ensure the hand shell is fitted to the Myo Kinisi before applying a cosmesis.

With the myoelectric hand in a slightly open position and the power isolated,
firmly secure the hand in a vertical position - taking care not to damage the
device or prosthesis.
PVC only : Gently warm the cosmetic glove, taking care to avoid localised
overheating. If applying a silicone glove, no heating is required.

Pull the glove over the hand, manipulating it carefully to avoid excessive
stretching.

Once the fingertips of the device meet the palm of the glove, carefully push the
glove down into position over the fingers and thumb.

The cosmetic glove should fit closely all over the fingers and the thumb and
cover the hand. When extended up the forearm, the glove should not have
wrinkles, folds or any bridging.

The glove can now be trimmed to the desired length for finishing.
PVC only : Areas of stretch formed during the fitting process can be removed by
careful application of gentle local heating.
