Ridgeflex Ankle Joint is made by ST&G with a special material called Prepalon. Prepalon is created using Continuous Fiber Elastomer Technology (CFET), which gives a good balance of stiffness and flexibility. This technology allows for smooth movement of tendons, proper support in different directions, and control over rotation. The continuous fiber mixed with elastomer keeps the joint from stretching, removing the need for extra materials like strings and stronger elastomers to prevent tearing.
RidgeFlex Ankle Joint uses a material called Prepalon to find the perfect balance between flexibility and strength. Prepalon® blends continuous fibres with elastomer, creating a strong yet flexible technology (CFET). This blend prevents tearing and stretching, ensuring durability. Unlike traditional joints using strings, our technology supports rotation and movement in all directions. Our unique tendon design ensures smooth movement while providing support and control. By combining flexible elastomer with solid fibres, we achieve a balance of smoothness and support without sacrificing tear strength. This means our joint maintains its structural integrity for longer, without needing denser elastomers that could weaken it.
ST&G makes Ridgeflex Ankle Joint, which uses a unique material called Prepalon. This material uses Continuous Fiber Elastomer Technology (CFET), which balances stiffness and flexibility well. CFET allows for a tendon design that enables smooth movement, proper support, and control over rotation. By blending continuous fiber into the elastomer, the joint stays rigid without stretching, eliminating the need for additional materials like string. The flexible elastomer increases tear strength, while the blended fiber adds support.
RidgeFlex Ankle Joint strikes a perfect balance between flexibility and sturdiness, thanks to Prepalon, a unique material blend of continuous fibre and elastomer. This blend combines the strength of fibers with the flexibility of elastomer, preventing tearing and maintaining structural integrity. Unlike traditional methods, this technology doesn't rely on strings, which lack rotational or forward-backward support. Instead, it introduces a tendon design that ensures smooth movement while offering necessary support and rotational control. By blending flexible elastomer with continuous fiber for rigidity, it achieves both smooth movement and solid support without sacrificing tear strength. This approach avoids using denser elastomers for more support, which can weaken tear strength and compromise joint integrity.
Seattle Ankle Block with Spacer is made for different types of feet supports. It's built with strong foam around a nylon center, making it tough and light. It's meant to work well with Lightfoot2 SLF195/198 and can support up to 136 kg/300 lb.
Short Pro Ankle Walking Boot is a lightweight rocker sole. It lessens shock during heel strike, encouraging a natural, steady stride. Designed for patient comfort, with contoured struts. It allows for full dressing and padding. This boot maximizes strength, trims weight, and reduces bulkiness while fitting either foot. Ideal for soft tissue injuries, grade 2 and 3 sprains, stable fractures, post-operative care, trauma, and rehabilitation.
