Product description
Flex-Foot Balance is a multi-axial foot combining proven durability and stability with comfort, potentially improving patient compliance.
Flex-Foot Balance is also available with the D/P Flexion™ hydraulic ankle module, offering 8 degrees of dorsi- and plantarflexion during stance phase. Swing phase dorsiflexion is designed to reduce the risk of trips and falls, one of the main concerns of low active amputees. In addition, performance can be customized for each user, thanks to independent stiffness adjustment of dorsi- and plantarflexion. D/P Flexion is intended for low active amputees only.
Össur recommends using Flex-Foot Balance with D/P Flexion in conjunction with the sleeveless elevated vacuum suspension system Unity®, which adds minimal weight and no build height, and does not interfere with Flex-Foot Balance with D/P Flexion dynamics. Unity is designed to provide secure suspension in combination with Iceross Seal-In® technology, while stabilizing volume fluctuations and maintaining comfortable socket fit throughout the day.
