TRS Black Iron Trainer

The new Black Iron Trainer is a lighter version of the heavyduty, high-performance Black Iron Master. While the Black Iron Trainer is smaller and lighter in weight, it is capable of handling the wide range of handle diameters that are encountered in modern fitness and exercise facilities.

The completely manual operation and positive locking and unlocking design provides uncompromising security and stability for bench pressing, dumbbell flys, dead lifts, pull-downs, and more. The Black Iron Trainer , with a load-rating of 440 lb., also carries a smaller price tag than its larger cousin.

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 available in two sizes, small (6 to 9 in.) and regular (8 to 14 in.). The bar is adjustable through each size range to accomodate growth. 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.

New EZ Flex Liner Available at Intro Price

Now through March 31, 2009, the new EZ Flex Liner from ALPS is available to SPS customers at a low introductory price!

This liner was developed to provide greater elasticity over the patella while limiting posterior vertical stretch, eliminating pistoning.

The EZ Flex Liner combines an unlimited- stretch anterior fabric (for reducing pressure on the knee) with a posterior fabric that has 80 percent less vertical stretch than other ALPS gel liners.

This pairing reduces energy required to flex the knee and minimizes fabric bunching behind the knee, significantly increasing comfort.

New Helix3D Hip Joint

Otto Bock's Helix ^3D 7E10 is the first hip joint with hydraulic stance- and swing-phase control. The Helix ^3D provides pelvic rotation and a greater flexion angle, giving users more natural gait patterns and increased freedom of movement.

The Helix's three-dimensional movement mimics the human hip joint's natural and symmetrical gait pattern. Its polycentric design allows for leg length reduction during swing phase, which reduces the risk of falling and increases function.

Because the hip joint offers a larger flexion angle of 130 degrees, it is easier to accomplish activities of daily living such as putting on shoes or getting into a car.

Redesigned StepLock Handle

OTS Corporation has redesigned the StepLock handle to allow the use of a special bail kit. In the past, a stiff connection between the two joints risked one side locking while the other was not completely locked, causing the last ratchet tooth to be worn away. The new bail kit has rubber grommets inside the connection, allowing some play between the two sides. The kit attaches through two spaces in the redesigned handle, which allows for a better lever release kit connection. The new handle is less obtrusive and less likely to catch on clothing. It is now standard on all StepLocks ordered.

Introducing the Sure-Lok System

The Sure-Lok ™ is the world's first infinitely adjustable cable lock and retainer system for body-powered prostheses. This revolutionary technology mounts on the patient's voluntary opening (VO) or voluntary closing (VC) prosthesis. VO users can lock the cable to avoid damaging objects, and VC users no longer have to maintain cable tension to retain their grasp.

With the Sure-Lok engaged, it's possible for your patient to obtain greater pinch forces than with VO setups, even while relaxed. The Sure-Lok disengages easily.

Dycor’s New Dynamic Response Feet with Titanium Pyramid

Dycor's new K2 (assisted ADL) DR feet (purple) are 30 percent more flexible than the K3 (unassisted ADL) DR (black) version. Titanium pyramids are now standard. Similar to energy returning designs, Dycor's DR feet are lightweight and resilient because they rely on deflection of varying thickness leaf springs embedded in the upper keel member rather than on compression of rubber bumpers. Similar to other DR designs, Dycor's DR feet are ground compliant because they incorporate uni-, bi- or triaxial ankle articulation.
