Prosedo

Mechanical locking knee with hydraulic sitting assist

Users with lower mobility appreciate our Prosedo knee joint for deliberately supporting their efforts to sit down.

Featuring a hydraulic sitting assist function our mechanical locking knee Prosedo 3R31 is best suited for older users. An individually adaptable (according to body weight) hydraulic sitting assist makes it easier for them to sit down on a bed or chair. After releasing the manual lock, the flexion resistance deliberately supports the sitting down procedure. The user may then shift his/her weight equally on both legs – the prosthetic leg and the sound leg. This not only leads to an improved balance, but also reduces the strain on the unaffected side.

Available in two connection types

Prosedo is available with two connection variants: 1. Pyramid adapter and 2. Threaded connector for fittings of longer residual limbs.

Manual lock

Semi-automatic knee locking function: In order to flex the joint, the lock release cable needs to be pulled. The lock automatically engages when the limb is fully extended. Disengagement of the lock when partially loaded is also possible.

Optional lock release

Optional disengagement of the knee via the lock release button located underneath the blue front cap available.

Tube clamp ⌀ 30 mm

A tube adapter is included in the scope of delivery.

Adjustable hydraulics

The hydraulic sitting assist provides a high and progressive flexion resistance – an innovation in this particular product segment – for safe and balanced sitting down.

Benefits at a glance

High degree of safety

The Prosedo is the worlds’s first semi-automatic locking knee with an adjustable hydraulic cylinder. This hydraulic cylinder supports safe sitting-down through a high resistance once the lock is disengaged. Suitable for amputees with lower mobility, the Prosedo provides secure and comfortable wearing.

Confidence due to more balance

When walking, the Prosedo knee joint is locked in extension, however for sitting down the lock is able to be disengaged via the lock release cable. Unlocking is possible under partial load, resulting in more balance and safety. An even weight distribution can be maintained – on both the sound and prosthetic limb – when unlocking the knee joint to sit down.

Stability thanks to individually adjustable hydraulic

The integrated hydraulic unit stabilises wearers when the lock is disengaged and actively supports them in the process of sitting down. When sitting down, the knee enables the wearer to distribute their body weight equally on the sound and amputated side, providing relief and security. The resistance is individually adjustable, according to the wearer’s weight and needs.

Meeting the patients’ needs

The Prosedo knee is able to be fitted to transfemoral, knee disarticulation and hip disarticulation patients. Prosedo’s high maximum weight level of 125kg, the small and lightweight design and two connector versions make the knee joint suitable for many amputees, including those with long residual limbs.

Recommended feet components

Adjust 1M10

Thanks to its intelligent technology the prosthetic foot Adjust 1M10 allows for a safe stance – regardless of the load distribution between the prosthetic leg and the amputee's sound side. The foot’s medio-lateral flexibility offers stabilisation when it comes to uneven grounds. The adjustable function module allows for individual adaption of the heel characteristics leading to an improved gait pattern.

Single Axis Foot 1H38

The safe solution for geriatric transfemoral amputees

The Single Axis Foot 1H38 has different heel heights, a natural shape, smooth surface and shaped toes. It allows the patient to achieve a secure stance quickly and is especially suitable for transfemoral fittings.
