Inquiry:
Does anyone know of an adjustable telescoping tube adapter for a 34mm
pylon, similar to Otto Bock's 2R45 or 2R45=S (designed for a
30mmpylon)?
Responses:
One was to contact American Prosthetic Components and have them fab me
one. This was the route I ultimately took since I have been dealing
with them for several years. They agreed to make one to my specs.
The second was, If you only need this for a trial fitting a 30mm pylon
fits nicely inside a 34mm pylon. If you cut a slot in the 34mm pylon you
could use a clamp on it to secure it over the 30mm pylon making your own
adjustable pylon but it would only be for trial fittings. I thought
this was a great idea until I found out it would not work with the knee
unit I had due to an internal extension assist being in the way.
The third was to contact Bulldog Tools.
