High-Fidelity Transfemoral Training & AOPA Workshop: San Antonio, Texas — Wednesday, October 7
Say goodbye to buckets and welcome in the next generation in prosthetic-limb connectivity-the patented and patents-pending HiFi™ Interface and Imager System. Unlike traditional sockets that focus on fitting the periphery of the limb, the HiFi Interface System allows you to capture and control your patient's underlying bone. Upper- and lower-limb wearers report a significant increase in control, function, performance, and comfort. Patients state the HiFi feels connected to them.
Be part of the HiFi Revolution. Register for our AOPA workshop and licensing/training event in San Antonio, October 7, at .

New Polycentric Pneumatic Knee
The key element of the new 3R106 Pro is the servo-pneumatic control unit. Its powerful dual-chamber pneumatic unit with progressive damping has a flexion valve set for the patient's normal walking speed. At faster walking speeds, the flexion resistance increases, which prevents too much knee flexion. This helps provide more consistent swing phase even during fast walking. With three options for the proximal connection (pyramid, threaded connector, and lamination anchor) and a 275 lb. weight limit, the 3R106 Pro offers you great fitting options. Call your local sales representative for more information.

ALPS New Guardian Suction Liner
The Guardian Suction Liner from ALPS features raised GripGel bands that grip the socket wall to form a secure interface between the socket and liner to prevent slippage or premature release. These low-modulus GripGel bands stretch against the socket wall, while the inner wall conforms easily to the residual limb to ensure there is no restriction of blood flow or stiffening to inhibit donning. No seams and a single-piece construction improve durability. Available in both transfemoral and transtibial models, the Guardian Suction Liner can be fully inverted for ease of donning.

Dynamic Chopart Gait Stabilizer
This unique AFO has been designed for people with Chopart amputations who wish to remain active. A traditional, full-length AFO will often be stiff and feel unnatural to such a patient. Using a hinged ankle and flexible foot plate with a segmented dynamic filler allows flexion before providing a "stop" that protects the residuum and prevents shoe vamp collapse. The PTB design and the anterior shell redistribute ground reaction forces up the lower limb. For more information, visit our website or call the lab toll-free.
