The knee locks and thus secures the patient whenever he puts his weight on his foot up to 15° of angle of flexion. The maximum angle of flexion can be set to avoid the stumbling patient from falling.
Ease
The knee requires very little energy from the patient while not needing any external power source. It’s aleopneumatic shock absorber removes unwanted vibrations which results in a very fluid and natural gait.
Reliability
Purely mechanical, it is robust and easy to maintain.
Performance while being affordable
Being fully mechnanical, it keeps manufacturing cost low and allows an affordable price.
Trustworthy
From the amputee’s very first steps up to his ultimate activity level autonomy, the ProSecure knee gives trust, accompanies the patient and values his efforts.
A knee that keeps on innovating
Key features
ProSecure innovates
The freewheel allows fonctionnalities not seen to this day in a purely mechanical knee.
The ProSecure prosthetic knee brings a fully functional solution relying purely on a simple mechanic principles without any need for electronic controls.
The heart of the knee harbors a freewheel driven by the ground reaction (load line) when the patient touches the ground with his prosthetic foot. It is achieved not only in a straight legged stance but also when the knee is flexed at 15° max.
This locking mechanism doesn’t require any adjustments and adapts automatically, among other things, to the patient’s weight and to the intensity of the ground reaction. It is either on or off.
This innovative knee is the only one of its kind to support the patient’s weight by locking in flexion while at the same time allowing the leg to extend. In all situations, the knee allows the leg to extent and therefore can really help a patient to get up from a chair for example.
