Carbon fiber leg set KA3-6/A

These orthoses are made using advanced carbon fiber, a material widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive and sports industries. Orthoses made from carbon fiber are thin, lightweight, flexible, and durable. One of their most important properties is excellent shock absorption. The orthosis is adjusted using special straps, and its edges are finished to prevent friction. It covers the thigh, lower leg, and foot. The parts are connected with knee joint hinges that allow adjustable flexion. The orthosis provides joint stability and helps correct deformities.

Carbon fiber is extremely strong and resistant to compressive forces. Products made from carbon fiber are lightweight. An important advantage is the natural “spring” effect that makes walking easier and even allows running (these orthoses are also known as DAFO – dynamic ankle-foot orthosis).

Carbon fiber products wear out more slowly and maintain their mechanical characteristics even under continuous load. The orthoses remain functional much longer than similar products made from other materials. One of their major advantages is their lightness and thin profile, allowing the user to walk without feeling the weight and to fit the orthosis inside footwear. The orthoses are produced by layering and shaping over a plaster model.
