A Female Clamp Adapter (30 mm) is a modular prosthetic component used to securely connect a 30 mm diameter pylon (tube) to other parts of a lower-limb prosthesis. Its precision clamp mechanism firmly grips the tube while allowing prosthetists to adjust alignment, height, and rotation during fitting. This flexibility helps achieve optimal gait, comfort, and stability for the user.
The adapter is commonly manufactured from high-strength aluminum, titanium, or stainless steel, offering an excellent balance of durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance. It is widely used in both below-knee (BK) and above-knee (AK) prosthetic systems and is compatible with many modular prosthetic components. A properly installed female clamp adapter ensures secure load transfer, structural integrity, and long-term reliability during everyday activities, making it an essential component in modern prosthetic limb assembly.
