Get Going with Iceross Seal-In

Advancing liner technology one step further, the new Iceross® Seal-In® is as close as we have come to complete prosthetic attachment, with the convenience of a simple step-in-and-go system. The new system for transtibial users applies pure suction but does not require an external sleeve, saving time and money.

A proprietary design with five separate seals bridges between the residual limb and the internal socket wall. Unique seal design conforms and clings tightly, guaranteeing suspension, rotation control, and proprioception, while allowing for unprecedented knee freedom. This retrofitable liner provides unmatched performance and favorable patient outcomes, making the user more confident and better able to perform activities.

LowPro Summit Lock from Coyote Design

Don't be fooled by imitations. The Summit Lock was the first proximal lock designed to control rotation, and the only lock with zero clearance required. The Summit Lock was specifically designed for long limbs. There is no need to purchase a locking liner, and you can use the socket adaptor of your choice. Weve improved the design and created the LowPro Summit Lock for even easier donning.

All tooling for fabrication is included, except adhesive, Coyote® Quick Adhesive (CD4120).

The Dobbs Bar

A Revolution in Clubfoot Treatment

Matthew Dobbs, MD, designed this new dynamic clubfoot bar to allow active movement, preserve muscle strength in the foot and ankle, and be less restrictive to the child than traditional fixed-bars. Children using the Dobbs Bar can crawl and kick their legs independently. Children will sleep better because they can get comfortable in the Dobbs Bar, and heel blisters commonly associated with fixed-bars are no longer a problem. The Dobbs Bar is completely adjustable from 8 to 14 inches to accommodate growth; no need to buy replacement bars. The foot plates are universal and can be attached to shoes and AFOs. The results are better compliance, a more active child, and happier parents.

Becker Oregon Offers the BRAE Orthosis

The BRAE Orthosis is designed for the management of forearm rotation contractures using a static progressive stretching protocol. The orthosis is useful for treatment of forearm contractures as a result of upper-extremity fractures and injuries. Forearm rotation is adjusted by a dual-offset channel with a patented, overlapping rotation component.

Benefits of the BRAE Orthosis include:

• Maintains post-surgical forearm rotation positioning.
• Decreases substitution that can result from misalignment of the mechanical-to-anatomical axis for forearm rotation.
• Maintains static progression of infinite positions in supination and pronation.
• Controls forearm rotation position while allowing free motion in the sagittal plane.

Ossur’s PROPRIO FOOT Provides Unmatched Stability and Safety

Ossur's PROPRIO FOOT® is an artificially intelligent, motor-powered prosthesis that helps replace the function that the body's central nervous system would normally play.

• Sense: Using advanced motion sensing accelerometers, the PROPRIO FOOT can "sense" the surroundings of each step and accommodate for action.
• Think: As fast as it measures, the data is fed into the "brain" of the device through TerrainLogic^TM, identifying specific motions to enable a response to variations.
• Act: Foot motion is continuously analyzed. For each stride, gait pattern recognition algorithms in the foot are used to detect and identify when and where a user is walking.

The SoftForce is easy for the patient to put on and doesnt have complex instructions. The brace provides compression and stabilization while helping to prevent the leg from thrusting into an abnormal alignment.

KiddieGAIT—The Latest ToeOFF Product

KiddieGAIT^TM is an engineered composite frame with anterior shell, lateral strut, and an energy-reflecting footplate with open calcaneus, all designed to allow customization of the frame into a ground-reaction AFO or a partial-foot prosthesis. The energy-reflecting properties of this system reduce the amount of energy required to lift and move the foot forward.

The anterior shell design triggers enhanced "position in space" proprioceptive response and assists in management of proximal deficits by helping to overcome either knee hyperextension or crouch gait. Functional environments can be created that supplement gait function instead of immobilizing and inhibiting function.
