Instructions

Selecting and using it.

How to select

Apply a Nord° Brim on the limb over the liner to check fit and size. The rectified mould circumference should match the selected brim circumference and not exceed it by more than 2-3 cm. Larger differences risk overstretching, damage or rupture during shaping.

How to use

Shape according to the socket production technique in use, and check the proximal edge against the limb before lamination.
