LimbLogic VS Offers Reliability and Versatility

Ohio Willow Wood has expanded LimbLogic® VS's versatility by broadening the conditions in which it will operate.

Prosthetists may advise patients that LimbLogic VS can be used in wet environments and even immersed in fresh water. This is the only waterproof electronic elevated vacuum suspension system available in the prosthetic market.

Ohio Willow Wood's Thermoplastic Drop-In Adapter maintains an airtight seal with LimbLogic VS and permits the system to be used with thermoplastic sockets. For added comfort, the adapter allows for the fabrication of a distal cup that replicates the user's correct anatomical shape.

HOPE Orthopedic’s NINJA Raises the Bar

Mechanical advantage with no strings attached!

The innovative NINJA is a 6X mechanical-advantage orthosis, like a string brace, but using straps, not strings. The straps are more durable; they won't fray, tear, tangle, or wedge.

The NINJA belt is the foundation of each brace (L-0627, L-0631, and L-0637) in the NINJA Progressive Spinal System. It has a soft mesh inside and an aggressive loop outside. The one-pull strap is easy to tighten and fasten. The NINJA PRO is pictured.

Patient Inspired Solutions from Ultraflex

New: EWHO Rotation Design Eases Fitting of Neurological Patients with Forearm-Rotation Patterns

The EWHO rotation design facilitates slow, gentle movement of the forearm toward supination or pronation and simultaneous extension or flexion of the elbow during the patient fitting. After applying the proximal elbow section and the distal forearm section, the forearm section can be gently rotated and fixed into the desired position.

Ultraflex therapeutic/stretching bracing provides precise dynamic stimulus and proper posturing to maintain/increase muscle length for improved grasp, pinch, and release functions. It is ideal for challenging neurological conditions such as CP, post-stroke, and TBI.

We can also custom make the Durasleeve for transtibial suspension, including the Durasleeve HD for exceptionally active clients and the Durasleeve EZ for clients with limited dexterity.

Dycor’s New Dynamic Response Feet with Titanium Pyramid

Titanium pyramids are now standard with Dycor's new K2 DR2 (unassisted transfer/assisted ADL) and K3 DR3 (unassisted ADL) feet. The K2 version is 30 percent more flexible than the K3.

Dycor's DR feet are lightweight and resilient because they rely on deflection of the varying-thickness leaf springs imbedded in the upper keel member, rather than compression of rubber bumpers. The DR feet are ground compliant because they incorporate uni, bi-, or tri-axial ankle articulation with low- or medium-profile options.

Weight, including titanium pyramid and foot shell, is 312g (11 oz.).
