Original Query:

 

Can anyone direct me to a source for female rotatable socket adapters (like the OB 4R37, or Trulife SCA214-01) that have a large enough cavity to fit the Otto Bock (4R57) or Hosmer Socket rotation adapters? I am specifically wanting one that fits these larger pyramids that is threaded so only one screw is loosened to turn the socket (again, like the SCA214-01).

 

Answers:

1. You know, Bulldog has tool for anything...

2. Streifeneder or Ossur both work for sure

3. I believe Bulldog Tools can take care of that. Their Number is 1-877-962-0205.

4. ESP's Haberman Alignment Device has a rotatable female adapter as one it's many components.
Visit our website to see if our part will work for you. You can purchase through any distributor.



5. I've used this one from www.gmbh.streifeneder.de in Germany. Don't know if they have a north American distributor, though.

The patient is an osseointegrated lady so the stuff above this adapter is a bit different to what you would normally use, but she's happy with her 4R57 that we had no problems fitting.
