4 Function
This device provides a connecting element between two Blatchford tube clamp adapters and
used together with such adapters, provides rotational and length adjustment in a transfemoral or
transtibial system.
Three standard tube lengths are available and are intended to be cut to length by a suitably
trained person to suit the requirements of the amputee. This enables a comfortable fit and
correct alignment to ensure correct function when using the prosthesis.
