Very Flex Foot Prosthesis

Product Details :

The Very Flex Foot Prosthesis is the first prosthesis to successfully integrate a shock absorption system.

It uses a carbon fiber compression spring, and telescoping tubes that provide up to an inch of vertical compression. This cushions the impact to amputees'' residual limbs, allowing them to land on their prosthesis when descending stairs or curbs, for example, without experiencing pain or discomfort. It also stores and releases energy to allow the user to walk comfortably, efficiently and naturally.

This foot meant for most amputees, particularly the very active. Shock reduction is beneficial for trans-femoral amputees who experience a majority of the ground reaction forces on the ischial tuberosity.
