Knit Rite Offers the New Cadence HP Foot

The revolutionary design of the new Cadence HP foot is based on simple biomechanics: initiate plantar flexion immediately upon heel strike to improve stability.

The geometry of the new Cadence HP does just that; the "C" design-a Seattle Systems patent-promotes plantar flexion and controlled forward momentum. The full-length split keel provides the inversion/eversion accommodation and smooth rollover.

With the Cadence HP, your patient will achieve a natural gait with more confidence and less effort.

The Cadence HP is appropriate for amputees with moderate to high activity levels, especially those who wish to do more.

It is also the first lock designed to control rotation. The lock is ideal for long limb types with no room for a distal pin. The adhesive used to attach the lock to the fabric of the liner is now included in the Summit Lock Kit #CD101. The glue form tool #CD101GF used to attach the lock to liner is reusable and sold separately.

Effective Volume Management

Manage daily volume changes effectively with Ohio Willow Wood's Alpha® Volume Management Pads. When placed between limb and liner where volume has been lost, amputees experience comfort and equal pressure across the limb.

Volume Management Pads are a great alternative to socks, which add volume to the entire limb, squeezing soft tissue and creating uneven pressures. This uneven pressure can eliminate Total Surface Weight Bearing socket design and harm liners.

Alpha Volume Management Pads are 3mm thick, stackable, available in sets of three sizes, and made of the skin-friendly Alpha Liner gel. For information, contact:
