Tri-Planar PRAFO Like No Other
Designed and manufactured by Anatomical Concepts Inc. and available from PEL Supply, the new 650 Tri-Planar® PRAFO orthosis combines the sagittal and coronal plane adjustment features of the dual-action orthosis with the transverse plane adjustment never previously offered with a PRAFO orthosis.
The coronal plane adjustment adjusts for varus/valgus of the foot/ankle complex. The orthosis is secured and fully adjustable to accommodate all anatomical parameters. The sagittal plane adjustment adjusts for the plantarflexion/dorsiflexion of the foot ankle complex. The transverse plane adjustment adjusts for internal/external rotation of the foot/ankle complex.

AK, BK Double Wall Systems from Velocity
At Velocity Labs, we've had experience manufacturing AK and BK double wall sockets since 1998. Both double walls can be used with standard expulsion valves and high-vacuum socket systems. BK double wall systems are great for protecting the sealing sleeve and allowing for a full-skin cosmetic finish. AK systems separate the brim design from the mode of suspension, so the seal is not lost during sitting or volume fluctuations. Check out our website for information on all of our products from central fabrication to manufacturing supplies.

Latest in Vacuum Technology
LimbLogic" VS provides reliable, controllable, and quiet vacuum suspension. Key features include easy, inline mounting in a prosthesis, "set and forget" intelligent monitoring of vacuum pressure, remote-control operation, and water-resistant controller.
The system's vacuum pressure is adjustable from 0 to 20 inHg. Practitioners can program LimbLogic VS with vacuum settings. Once programmed, LimbLogic VS will monitor a socket's vacuum pressure and maintain secure, comfortable suspension of the prosthesis. This technology allows users to maintain the proper amount of vacuum without continual adjustment. The controller simply runs when needed.

Shaped by Perfection
Dycor's ADL-LCD Lisfranc/Chopart Energy Returning Foot provides maximum flexibility and resiliency, strength of attachment, and anatomical support of hindfoot, with minimum weight (12.5 oz. with foot shell, 26cm med) and socket clearance (3/8 in. including foot shell).
The forefoot is horizontally split into five segments to maintain the same degree of forefoot flexibility regardless of medial and lateral shift of the floor reaction. Integrated carbon fiber "tie-ins" around the heel portion of the keel are epoxied directly to the end of the socket, forming a stronger lap joint between the heel segment of the keel and the prosthetic socket.
