Every Flex-Foot is made from carbon fiber; the same durable, lightweight, flexible, corrosion-resistant material used in the aerospace industry.
As your heel hits the ground, the impact creates energy which is absorbed by and stored in the carbon fiber. Consequently, with each step, energy is returned, simulating the spring action of your natural foot.
The Carbon-X® Active Heel absorbs shock as your heel strikes the ground, significantly reducing forces on your residual limb, knee, hip and back.
The full-length keel matches the length of your sound foot, ensuring a smooth, more natural gait, while the split toe feature enables the Flex-Foot to adapt to terrain and help you walk naturally on uneven ground.
