New Mauch XG Carbon Frame Knee from Ossur
The new Mauch XG™ carbon frame knee from Ossur targets the high-activity amputee. The Mauch XG combines high performance with a new sleek design ideal for facilitating cosmetic finishing. The frame is made of ultra-lightweight carbon fiber wound with Kevlar. The low-profile frame is fitted with the Mauch Jr. cylinder, noted for durability and performance.
The Mauch XG is designed for multi-speed ambulation with roller bearings at the knee axis and cylinder attachment points that offer a quiet, smooth function and natural feel.

Other features include a weight limit of 285 lbs, a full 135 degrees of knee flexion, and a low clearance height of 8.5 inches, a critical factor for amputees who need components with lower-build heights in their prostheses.
