Benefits at a glance

    Greater Mobility

    The key to fluid movement is a knee that responds quickly to different inclines and surfaces. With the C-Leg 4, users get improved stance release and increased support for descending ramps and stairs, enabling noticeably smoother and more reliable movement.

    Manual locking function

    With the manual locking function users can conveniently secure the C-Leg 4 in extension with a simple tapping pattern, even when using a cosmetic fitting. This is particularly helpful during sporting activities.

    Support and comfort for sitting

    The C-Leg 4 detects when users sit down, mirroring their speed to keep them stable and in control — even if they’re using a chair or a walking aid for support. Once seated, they can enjoy a relaxed, comfortable position with a free-swinging joint thanks to the supported sitting function.

    C-Leg 4
    Easier user experience

    Getting the most out of your C-Leg has never been easier. Deep Sleep Mode helps conserve battery during long flights, camping trips, or any situation where power is limited. Charging is simple and convenient with a design that allows one-handed use, and a USB charging adapter ensures you can stay powered wherever you go.

    Training feature
    Helpful training function

    A built-in training function provides real-time feedback after each successful swing phase initiation, helping users troubleshoot and improve their gait as they adapt to their prosthesis. This feature can be easily activated or deactivated by either the prosthetist or the user through the Cockpit app.

    Weatherproof design (IP68)

    The new C-Leg 4 is now IP68, enabling you to have greater confidence in diverse environments. Whether you're walking the dog, caught in a rain shower, or accidentally splashed when watering the garden, you can be assured that the electronics in your C-Leg are protected from dust, sand, dirt and occasional submersion in freshwater (up to 3m for 1hr).

    MyMode Plus
    MyMode Plus

    Now, users can easily get more support for their favourite activities. MyMode Plus offers a fantastic selection of options for work, leisure, and athletics. Together with their prosthetist, users can select two settings for easy activation in the Cockpit app or via a movement pattern.

    Users can personalise the look of their prosthesis thanks to a new customisable shield insert. Not only do these robust, durable covers protect the C-Leg 4 from environmental factors or wear and tear, they also now empower users to show off their unique style with each step.

    The new colour of the C-Leg 4 – Midnight Shadow.
    New colour option

    Many of the updates to our signature C-Leg microprocessor knee are based on feedback we received from users and professionals. In fact, that’s why the C-Leg 4 is available in two colors: the original lighter Desert Pearl as well as a darker shade, Midnight Shadow.

    Smart control via app

    With the Cockpit app, users can fine tune MyMode Plus and other settings individually, switch between MyMode Plus options, check their knee’s battery status, set their volume, track their activities, perform a knee joint self-test if needed, and much more — all via their iOS or Android smartphone.

    Stance function selection

    Users can choose between intuitive and deliberate stance with the help of their Prosthetist. Intuitive stance uses sensor data to detect whether the user needs support while standing or taking a step, while deliberate stance requires more conscious movements to resume flexion.
