Silhouette LP-VS Launches at SPS

SPS now offers the new low-profile version of the Silhouette VS prosthetic foot that provides shock absorption and multiaxial ground compliance to ease progression onto otherwise unforgiving surfaces.

Benefits include:

• Vertical shock absorption softens heel-strike impact, providing comfort and preserving residual-limb health.
• Optimized sole plate with tri-durometer urethane strips transfers load from lateral to medial plane with each step for more natural medial rollover.
• 3/8 - or ¾-in. heel heights available to broaden footwear choices from dress shoes to work boots.
• Rated to 365 lb., the Silhouette LP-VS is appropriate for low- to moderate-impact K3 ambulators.

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 light-­weight 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.).
