3R106 - Knee prosthetics

Knee joint, polycentric, with pneumatic swing phase control

For lightness.

Anyone who looks after a household or likes being active with children and grandchildren knows the importance of flexible movement patterns. From putting things into the bottom cupboard to picking up children's toys, a large knee flexion angle is indispensable. This is why amputees want a knee joint with functionality that comes as close as possible to the natural model. We meet this need with the 3R106 knee joint, which can be flexed to an angle up to 170 degrees. As though this were not enough, the lightweight knee joint also enables a harmonious gait pattern at different walking speeds. The joint offers maximum safety for you in the stance phase as well. As soon as your body weight is supported on the prosthesis and the foot is on the ground, unintentional buckling is hardly possible anymore.

Advantages of the 3R106

The upper joint section and lower joint section are connected by the anterior links and the mid-joint section to form a four-bar linkage. In the extended position, the instantaneous pivot point is located clearly above the joint and behind the load line. Based on this, the modern polycentric structure provides particularly reliable stability for the knee joint during the stance phase and delivers increased ground clearance during the swing phase – thus enhancing the user’s confidence in the prosthesis as a whole.

Advantages of the 3R106

Flexion and extension damping are individually adjustable. For a lower extension assist force, the extension assist spring can simply be replaced by the included weaker spring.

Advantages of the 3R106

Advantageous swing phase damping characteristics, especially easy initiation of the swing phase and a smooth extension stop for a natural gait with reduced energy consumption.

Advantages of the 3R106

The large flexion angle of 170° and the light weight also provide for high comfort, e.g. when bicycling, getting into a car, kneeling or sitting.

Advantages of the 3R106

Suitable for treating all amputation levels due to various proximal connection versions.

Knee prosthetics-3R78
3R78Knee prosthetics
Are you a prosthetic wearer with moderate activity level who needs a lightweight knee joint, offering stance phase security in addition to harmonious movements? Then our robust 3R78 knee joint, which is designed to be resistant to dust and environmental influences and also features pneumatic swing phase control, is exactly right for you. Harmonious flexion and extension movements make it possible for you to achieve a gait pattern which comes very close to walking naturally. Here the joint geometry effectively shortens the prosthesis when you swing your leg through, resulting in more ground clearance. A high flexion angle of 150 degrees leads to greater freedom of movement. The knee joint also sets itself apart with adequate support for different walking speeds and is approved for a body weight of up to 100 kilograms.It can be individually adapted to your personal needs without extra effort. A quick reference guide makes the adjustment process quick and simple for your orthopaedic specialist.
