Tri-Adapt Disabled triathlon prosthetics

Tri-Adapt is a modular, quick-swap prosthetic system designed specifically for disabled triathletes to reduce transition time between swimming, cycling, and running. Inspired by Formula One pit-stop efficiency, the design uses a combination of strap-based mounting and snap-fit mechanisms, allowing athletes to switch limbs in seconds without assistance.

The system includes dedicated end modules for each sport, which attach to a universal socket interface. This not only improves performance in competitive events but also lowers the barrier to entry for amateur athletes.

Tri-Adapt is lightweight, low-cost, and designed for home fabrication. It can be assembled using off-the-shelf components, basic 3D-printed parts, and household tools. The total build cost is under £50, making it an accessible and empowering solution for both athletes and makers.
