It may be used for the following applications: 1) to hold/align/fix/guide other instruments, prostheses, or prosthesis components; 2) to provide relative position landmarks; 3) to ascertain correct spatial orientation or limb alignment; and/or 4) as an interface (non-adaptive) between prosthesis components. This is a reusable device intended to be sterilized prior to use.
