Endolite Introduces the avalon

The avalon foot provides 12° of controlled ankle motion, allowing the user to safely negotiate stairs, ramps, and environmental obstacles with increased confidence and security.

Benefits include:

• Dorsiflexes from midstance to toe off for a smooth rollover.
• Remains dorsiflexed through swing phase for improved toe clearance, to minimize the risk of falls.

• Provides a more natural gait; reduces the need to compensate by hip hiking, circumduction, or lifting the knee to clear the toe during swing phase.
• Biomimetic ankle motion encourages equal loading during ambulation, which leads to less stress and thereby preserves the sound side.

Enter Unity™. Building on established Seal-In® technology, the Unity Sleeveless Vacuum system by Össur® is the first advanced vacuum solution to generate 15-22 in Hg of vacuum without a sleeve.
