Go Sleeveless with the Unity Sleeveless Vacuum System by Össur

Until now, all advanced vacuum systems have required a sleeve to maintain vacuum. The problem is that sleeves are bulky; they bunch behind the knee, restricting range of motion. They can also puncture, leading to a loss of vacuum.

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.

Visit www.ossur.com/unity to learn how to get certified and check out the entire line of Unity-compatible Flex-Foot feet including low-profile and microprocessor solutions.

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.
