- Shock-absorbing cushioning system for enhanced comfort
- Needle roller bearings for smooth articulation
- Up to 165° knee flexion
- ISO 10328:2016 tested for durability
- Suitable for users up to 125 kg
Advanced Features
Aerospace-Grade Aluminium Mainframe
Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminium, the mainframe provides an excellent balance of strength and lightweight performance, helping reduce the overall weight of the prosthesis without compromising durability.
Steel Pyramid and Shafts
High-strength steel pyramid and shaft components improve structural integrity and provide dependable performance during daily activities.
Adjustable Sliding Pyramid
The adjustable sliding pyramid simplifies prosthetic alignment, allowing prosthetists to achieve an accurate and secure fit during assembly.
Soft-Close Return Mechanism
The integrated soft-close return mechanism helps minimise jerking during knee extension, supporting smoother and more controlled movement throughout the gait cycle.
Multi-Level Rubber Cushioning System
A multi-level rubber cushioning system helps absorb impact during walking, improving comfort and reducing shock transmitted through the prosthesis.
PTFE Washers
PTFE washers reduce friction between moving components, supporting smoother operation and helping minimise wear over time.
Needle Roller Bearings
High-quality needle roller bearings provide smooth and consistent joint movement while enhancing the durability of the knee mechanism.
Up to 165° Flexion
The knee joint allows up to 165° of flexion, providing a wide range of motion for everyday activities such as sitting, walking, and transitioning between movements.
Integrated Thread-Locking System
All fasteners are supplied with an integrated thread-locking system to help maintain secure assembly during prolonged use.
Tested for Reliability
The Polycentric Mechanical Knee Joint Aluminum has been tested according to ISO 10328:2016, demonstrating compliance with internationally recognised structural testing requirements for lower limb prosthetic components.
