ABSTRACT:
A temporary diagnostic prosthetic socket mounting system and kit including a generally circular test mounting block defined by an annular groove and four axial cutouts extending from the lower surface of the block to the upper surface. The axial cutouts are at least as deep as the annular groove. A band extending around the perimeter of the block is provided which spans the axial cutouts, thereby forming a void in the cutouts beneath the tape. The block is secured to a prosthetic diagnostic socket by adhesive with the band extending up over the upper edge of the block and onto the outer surface of the socket. Casting tape is applied over the socket/block joint extending into the groove. After diagnostic fitting and transfer of the alignment, a cast saw can be passed around the joint through the casting tape and into the adhesive between the upper surface of the block and the rounded distal end of the socket. The gap behind the band in the cutouts provides a void space for the saw that avoids damage to the block, and the casting tape is severed and easily removed.
