Triton side flex
The Taleo Side Flex is designed especially for users who navigate various indoor and outdoor environments and terrains as part of their daily routine. Thanks to innovative technology, it offers you more freedom of movement in everyday life and ensures security and flexibility while walking and provides full-surface ground contact with its joint unit; even on uneven surfaces and slopes.
The built in 'Terrain Adaptation Unit' reduces the lateral load on the knee or in the socket and can minimise compensating movements.
For above the knee and through knee amputees, Taleo Side Flex combined with SKEO Sealing Liner, C-Leg 4, Genium or Genium X3 provides the best solution to get you back to an active and independent lifestyle.
For below the knee users, combining the Taleo Side Flex with our Dynamic Vacuum System (DVS) gives you a winning combination of flexibility and socket comfort.
It’s more than a prosthetic foot. It’s a foundation.
Stop bumpers
Stop bumpers gently dampen the side-to-side impact when the full range of motion needs to be utilised on very uneven ground or slopes.
Proven Triton platform
The familiar properties of the Triton platform are not affected by the side-to-side flexibility and ensure the prosthesis is as dynamic as it needs to be.
Terrain adaptation unit for mediolateral flexibility
The effortless side-to-side flexibility is achieved by a titanium torsion bar. This technology permits a 20° range of motion, cushions the adaptation and brings the unit back to its original position after every step.
Robust titanium adapter
Thanks to integrated seals and the use of corrosion-resistant materials, the mechanism is protected against fresh, salt and chlorinated water.

Triton side flex – adaptable with socket stability
There was a time when Marije would have taken detours to avoid uneven terrain. Thanks to her Triton side flex, she can now adapt to any slopes, hills and uneven spaces she encounters.
A quick movement between the sink and fridge, a small step to the side towards the cutlery drawer. Thanks to her Triton side flex, Marije can prepare a meal in a hurry when she has to – before her next shift at the hospital.
With her previous prosthetic foot, Marije used to find it very uncomfortable to simply lean sideways against a wall or door frame while chatting with friends. But the side-to-side flexibility of her Triton side flex lets her stand in a relaxed position, even during longer conversations.
Compared to standard carbon feet with a split spring, the Taleo Side Flex adapts to lateral slopes and uneven ground to an exceptionally high degree right after heel strike. This has a positive effect on the comfort and perceived balance and safety.
Whether moving in confined spaces or on swaying ground, standing with legs apart or relaxed while leaning against objects, the Taleo Side Flex allows you to do it with fewer compensating movements.
The Taleo Side Flex is fully waterproof against fresh, salt and chlorinated water so you can take a shower, swim or work in humid conditions. The intuitive design allows fresh, salt and chlorinated water to easily drain away and prevent water from collecting in the interior of the prosthesis.
The prosthetic foot makes a difference in the success of the treatment. Learn more about prosthetic feet in general and our other foot options here.
Triton makes the difference
Marije
Marije is a vibrant young woman who is always on the go – at her job, during her free time in the park or with a boat on Amsterdam’s canals. Thanks to her new Triton side flex prosthetic foot and its unique side-to-side adaptability, Marije goes her own way without needing to think about where she puts her foot next.
More lateral flexibility, more secure ground contact
New lateral flexibility
Conventional prosthetic feet adapt to lateral slopes only to a small extent at heel strike. Only later on do these feet adapt to a greater extent as the load on the forefoot increases, with maximum adaptation occurring at the end of the stance phase. The Triton side flex adapts to lateral slopes and uneven ground to a high degree right after heel strike. This has a positive impact on the user’s comfort and safety.

Triton Vertical Shock
Do you have a demanding day-to-day life that keeps you constantly on the go? The Triton Vertical Shock moves and turns along with you, noticeably relieves the residual limb and boosts your comfort as a result. It supports the natural rotation movement of the leg, decreasing shearing and strain on your residual limb due to torsion and reducing skin irritation. The Triton Vertical Shock also cushions the impacts felt at heel strike or in situations such as going up and down stairs.
Triton Harmony
Are you very active and on your feet from morning to night? The Triton Harmony is a prosthetic foot with an integrated vacuum system that helps compensate for the fluctuations in volume that occur in the course of the day, giving you a firm hold in your prosthesis from morning to night without putting strain on your residual limb or skin. The secure connection between the residual limb and leg lets you control your prosthesis more effectively. The firm fit also means there is less play between your residual limb and the socket, which can reduce skin irritation. It supports the natural way your leg rotates as it moves, ensuring you can move comfortably despite the firm fit – without feeling strain due to torsion in the socket. This boosts your comfort in your demanding daily routine.
