Pylons And Adapters
Overview
Kinetix Healthcare provides a full selection of prosthetic pylons, adapters, and modular connectors essential for assembling and aligning lower-limb prostheses. All components are precision-manufactured to meet international 30 mm modular standards and are available in both adult and pediatric sizes.
Our offerings support practitioners in delivering structurally sound and fully adjustable prosthetic systems — whether for routine use, anatomical correction, or pediatric growth adaptation.

Clinical Notes
- Use thread-locking compounds for permanent fixation
- Torque bolts to manufacturer specification
- Always check for material fatigue in long-term use
- Pediatric components should not be mixed with adult-sized connectors
Compliance & Manufacturing
- ISO 10328 structural testing
- Non-corrosive, medical-grade metals
- Compatible with most major modular prosthetic systems
