Ultraflex USS Pediatric AFO Joint is useful for making customized ankle supports to help with walking problems, weak muscles, and unstable joints, which can make moving around easier. These supports are firm and not meant for stretching.
Improved Mobility: Addressing gait deviation, muscle and joint weakness, and instability, the custom ankle orthoses crafted with this joint facilitate increased mobility, allowing patients to move with greater ease and confidence.
Enhanced Support: The joint offers adjustable muscle augmentation, providing support to key muscles like the tibialis anterior and gastroc-soleus throughout the gait cycle. This targeted support improves stability and reduces the risk of falls or further injury.
Customized Stability: With the ability to selectively augment and support specific muscle groups, the orthotic joint ensures stability tailored to each patient's needs. This customization optimizes their response to ground reaction forces, enhancing overall stability during movement.
Unrestricted Motion: While restraining excessive range of motion, the joint allows natural movement patterns, offering a balance between stability and mobility. This feature enables patients to move freely without feeling restricted by their orthoses.
Smooth Roll-over: By facilitating a natural roll-over motion, the joint contributes to improved biomechanics of the knee-ankle-foot complex. This smoother movement not only enhances walking efficiency but also potentially reduces fatigue and discomfort associated with abnormal gait patterns.
Assisted Foot Clearance: During the swing phase of gait, the joint assists in foot clearance, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed movement trajectory. This reduces the risk of tripping or stumbling, promoting safer ambulation for the wearer.
Ease of Adjustment: Simple set screw adjustments allow for easy customization of restraint levels, enabling orthotists to fine-tune the orthoses according to individual patient requirements. This ensures optimal performance and comfort for each wearer.
Ultraflex 2 SS1/SS2 Elbow Joint is lightweight, only 87g without bars, making it comfortable to wear. It's made of durable stainless steel and aluminum for strength. Bars are removable for easy adjustments. Coated with epoxy and fluoropolymer for durability and resistance to corrosion. Tested for strength with a maximum of 180 lb (82 kg) M-L and 250 lb (113 kg) AP strength, ensuring safety.
Ultraflex 2 SS3 Bidirectional Elbow Joint is used to make custom orthoses for orthopedic rehabilitation and treating muscle stiffness with gentle stretching. These orthoses help in therapy but aren't for walking. They come individually for either the left or right side. It can bend from 15 degrees backward to 135 degrees forward and can be locked at different angles (every 7.5 degrees) for standing still. You can also add or remove power assistance units (weighing 45, 60, or 90 pounds). It weighs 113 grams without the bars. The parts are made of stainless steel and aluminum and coated to prevent rust.
Ultraflex 2 Stainless Steel Knee Joint is handy for making custom braces for rehabilitating bone and muscle injuries and for treating muscle stiffness in neurological conditions. These braces help with therapy and aren't meant for walking. You can buy them for either the left or right side. They have a range of motion from 0 to 135 degrees, including hyperextension from -15 to 135 degrees. You can adjust them in increments of 7.5 degrees and lock them in place at any angle. You can also add power assists, which come in three strengths: 45, 60, and 90 lbs. Each side of the joint weighs about 4.2 oz (119 g) without the bars. Materials used include stainless steel for the joints, and aluminum for the sidebars. The sidebars can be removed, and there's a non-corrosive coating to protect against rust.
Ultraflex 3 Aircraft Aluminum Knee/Elbow Joint is used for making custom knee braces in orthopedic and neurological treatments. It helps with stretching at low loads. These braces are for therapy, not walking. They come in pairs: a power unit and a companion. They can move in both directions, with a total adjustable range of ±140º or 280º. Safety and therapy settings lock in every 20º. It can be locked at any position within 280º. The power joint has integrated dynamic power assistance (extension/flexion) with a strength of 7.5 Nm (66 in·lb) from an 85D power unit. The weight with full struts is 165g (6 oz.) for Knee/Elbow and 75g (2.5 oz.) for Ankle/Wrist.
Ultraflex 3 Stainless Steel Ankle/Wrist ROM Joint is useful for creating custom wrist supports in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation. It helps with low-load stretching. It can move in both directions, with an adjustable range of ±140º or a total of 280º. It has safety and therapeutic locks in 20º steps. You can lock it in any position within 280º. The power assists, helping with movement, are rated up to 10.2 Nm (90 in·lb) for the 85D power units. The weight with full struts is 290g (6 oz.) for knee/elbow and 250g (2.5 oz.) for ankle/wrist. The joint heads are made of ASTM A240/A240M Type AISI 410 (Martensitic stainless) and are heat-treated to HRC 38-42 (electropolished). The struts are also A240/A240M Type AISI 410 (Martensitic stainless) and are heat-treated to HRC 38-42 (electropolished). The dimensions are 3.175mm(18”) x 12.7mm(1/2”) x 254mm(10”).
Ultraflex 3 Stainless Steel Knee/Elbow ROM Joint is useful for making custom knee braces for physical therapy and treating muscle stiffness. These braces help with stretching but aren't meant for walking. They come in pairs: one for power and one as a companion.
Ultraflex ADR Knee Joint is simple and easy for patients who can think well and move their hands quickly. It works similarly to the KO USS but without the cable and lever. This mechanism can be used to make custom orthopedic supports that help with walking problems, weak muscles, and unstable joints, improving movement. These supports are final and not meant for stretching. They are sold separately, so you need to specify if you want one for the left or right side and whether it's for the inner or outer part of the body.
