Product description
The Vari-Flex combines both comfort and dynamics.
The Vari-Flex is lightweight, easy to assemble and has a slender profile, making it easy to cover.
It inspires users with high amounts of confidence, security, and a natural gait.
Össur recommends using Vari-Flex in conjunction with the sleeveless elevated vacuum suspension system Unity®, which adds minimal weight and no build height, and does not interfere with Vari-Flex 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.

Characteristics
Active tibial progression
Vertical forces generated at heel contact are initially absorbed and translated into forward motion described as Active Tibial progression.
Full length toe lever
The full-length keel/toe lever matches the length of the sound foot, giving a smoother, symmetrical gait.
Proportional response
The layering of carbon fiber optimizes the deflection of the forefoot from mid-stance to toe-off and is proportional to the user’s weight and impact level.
Split toe
A split toe feature allows the foot to adjust to the surface below, allowing amputees to walk naturally on uneven ground.
Waterproof
Whether it's fresh water, salt water or chlorinated water, Waterproof Össur products will give you the maximum protection you need. The use of first-rate materials provides permanent protection against harmful ingress of water, even after submersion, whilst continuing to provide the functionality you expect.
Weatherproof
A weatherproof device allows use in a wet and/or humid environment but does not allow submersion. Fresh water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect. Dry thoroughly after contact with fresh water. Fresh water: Includes tap water. Excludes salt and chlorinated water. For a weatherproof system, only weatherproof components must be selected.
