Seattle Systems Presents New, Improved Arthroglide Ankle

Seattle Systems engineers have dramatically improved the overall design of the Arthroglide ankle. The new design enhances the original product's locking system and greatly boosts its durability.

A higher grade titanium alloy, Ti 6al-4v, is used in the new ankle, and bearings are now made of hardened steel instead of bronze. The new design uses a wedge mechanism to hold the A-P slide solidly into place.

The Arthroglide ankle is an excellent match for the E-2, Seattle Carbon LightFoot or Seattle LightFoot II.
