Polycentric Prosthetic Knee Joint – Compact

The Polycentric Knee Joint Compact is designed for users approaching walking, with a variable CIR (center of instantaneous rotation). Safety is achieved through the polycentric mechanism, and the studied geometry allows prosthetic shortening during the push off phase to avoid stumbling.

  • Variable CIR polycentric mechanism for outstanding safety: at initial contact the knee is locked in full extension
  • Studied geometry allows prosthetic shortening during push off to avoid stumbling
  • Assisted extension, suitable for different walking speeds through spring stiffness adjustment
  • Thanks to the pyramidal adapter it is possible to change the CIR position relative to the load line, trading safety against voluntary control
  • Flexion angle 141 degrees (titanium and children versions) or 135 degrees (stainless steel version)
  • Component weight 516 g, 370 g or 700 g depending on version
  • Maximum user weight 130 kg
  • Tested to ISO 10328
  • Warranty 36 months
  • Pair with a Single Axis foot or Walking MP to build a key level 2 above knee prosthesis

Very high CIR and close to the hip, low fatigue to start flexion.

Posterior CIR to the load line.

Very closed CIR to the load line, good for voluntary control.

POLYCENTRIC KNEE JOINT SYSTEM

Thanks to the pyramidal adapter suitable for each knee, it’s possible to change the CIR position compared to the LOAD LINE in order to offer users more safety or more voluntary control.

Limited community ambulation.

Able to traverse low-level environmental barriers (curbs, ramps, stairs, uneven surfaces).
