inside and outside of the socket). Excessive heating causes glossy areas on the matt surface of
the socket shells.

12
Complete the following steps to attach the fabric adhesive strips:
1) Clean the recesses on the inside of the socket shells with isopropanol.
2) Position the fabric adhesive strips in the corresponding recesses and make a mark 2 mm
away from the cut edge (see fig. 12).
3) Trim the fabric adhesive strips at the markings, rounding the edges.
4) Pull the fabric adhesive strips off the backing and glue them into the recesses (see fig. 13).
INFORMATION: Note the alignment of the fabric adhesive strips: The hairs on the fab­
ric adhesive strips point down, which makes donning easier and improves the hold
while wearing.

1) Clean the recesses on the inside of the medial socket shell with isopropanol.
2) Pull the rubber nubs off the backing material and glue them into the recesses (see fig. 14).

expected to come out.
