Guidelines for Service Production
To be able to use the Service Production of stamos + braun prothesenwerk gmbh efficiently and ensure smooth processing of orders, we ask you to consider the following points prior to placing an order.
General Issues
- Please measure the patient.
- Please enclose a completed measurement sheet with every order.
- For shipping the plaster positives, use shatter-proof packaging.
- When using a test prosthesis as a basis for manufacture, stamos + braun prothesenwerk gmbh will assume that here all issues of functionality, biomechanics, correct fitting and compatibility with ready-made everyday articles have been resolved. Hence, the definitive prosthesis is manufactured exactly according to the test prosthesis. No changes will be made by stamos + braun prothesenwerk gmbh Service Production.

Plaster casting
- In plaster casting please make sure the relevant region or extremity is not in an extreme position, such as a finger or finger stump in hyperextension or inflexion.
- Use porous plaster to pour the plaster negatives.
|
For the following implements please include a bar into the casting:
- silicone scar compression glove
- silicone liners
- silicone hand orthesis
|
Positioning of the bars
- Please place the bars centrally, with sufficient distance to the plaster surface, to allow for reduction. The bar should protrude from the plaster positive by about 10 cm.
|
For finger and hand casts, please cast the hand in functional position:
- Wrist extended by 25° – 30°.
- The wrist should not show any radial or ulnar deviation.
- The fingers are slightly inflected to be able to establish contact between thumb, index and middle finger.
- Thumb in direct opposition with index and middle finger
