Design and Function

The 6A53 and 6A54 Sliding Adapters permit the distal components of the modular prosthesis to be shifted in parallel, regardless of the angle adjustment by the pyramid adapters. The adjustments can be made either in the frontal plane (medial or lateral) or in the sagittal plane (anterior or posterior).
The sliding adapters are equipped with different connections:

Combination possibilities

This prosthetic component is compatible with Otto bock’s system of modular connectors. Functionality with components of other manufacturers that have compatible modular connectors has not been tested

Scope of delivery

Preparing the product for use

CAUTION

Incorrect alignment or assembly

• Risk of injury due to damaged prosthetic components
• Observe the alignment and assembly instructions.

CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections

• Risk of injury due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections
• Clean the threads before every installation.
• Apply the specified torque values.
• Follow the instructions regarding the length of the screws and about how to secure the screws.

Adjusting adapter

The adapter includes a pyramid adapter adjustable in 2 mm increments. The pyramid adapter can be aligned proximally or distally. >
Required materials: 710D20 torque wrench, 636K13 Loctite 241

1. Align the sliding adapter in the desired displacement direction (a – p or m – l).

2. Lift the ring on the adjustable pyramid adapter slightly in order to displace the pyramid adapter (see fig. 3).

3. Set the desired displacement and press the ring back down until it engages.
   TIP: Mark the final position with a pen.

4. Connect the pyramid adapter with the applicable connecting component (see fig. 4).

This fastens the pyramid adapter in its position

Connecting the pyramid adapter and pyramid receiver

The pyramid adapter is fixed with the set screws of the pyramid receiver.

> Required materials: torque wrench (e.g. 710D20), 636K13 Loctite 241

1. Fitting:
   Screw in the set screws.
   Use the torque wrench to tighten the set screws (10 Nm).

2. Definitive assembly:
   Secure the set screws with Loctite.
   Screw in the set screws.
   Pre-tighten the set screws with the torque wrench (10 Nm) and then tighten them (15 Nm).

3. Replace any set screws that are protruding or are recessed too much with appropriate set screws (see selection chart).

Reference number| Length (mm)
506G3=M8X12-V| 12
506G3=M8X14| 14
506G3=M8X16| 16

Alignment
The set screws in the pyramid receiver can be used to make static adjustments during alignment, trial fittings and after the prosthesis is finished.

Replacement and disassembly
The set position of the prosthetic component can be maintained during replacement or disassembly. In order to do this, unscrew the two set screws that are screwed in the furthest and located next to each other.

Maintenance
