Who is the 3R60 knee joint suitable for?

The 3R60 is intended for moderately active and active users with mobility grade 2–3 and a body weight of up to 125 kg. This prosthetic knee joint can benefit users with a transfemoral amputation, knee and hip disarticulation, and bilateral amputation.

Is the 3R60 suitable for sports?

The 3R60 is not a special sports knee joint and is therefore unsuitable for intensive sports activities. However, it allows you to walk more quickly in everyday life – for example if you have to hurry to catch the tram. If you are interested in being fitted with a sports prosthesis, take a look at the 3S80 sports knee joint page.

Is the 3R60 waterproof?

The 3R60 knee joint is corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in fresh, salt and chlorinated water. To maintain the knee joint’s functionality, it is essential to clean it as instructed after using it in water.

How long will it take me to learn how to use the 3R60 properly?

There is no universal answer here. Depending on the specific circumstances, it may take a few days or weeks for users to fully adjust to using the 3R60 in everyday situations.

What other products are included in a fitting with the 3R60?

During the 3R60 fitting, your O&P professional will adapt and assemble all the components selected for your prosthesis. This includes the 3R60 knee joint, all necessary adapters up to the prosthetic foot, as well as a well-fitting socket. The assembly and setup of the chosen components are of course also included.

Can I test the 3R60 knee joint?

Yes, of course you can test the 3R60. Please just speak to your O&P professional.

Modular EBS Knee Joint | Move with confidence.

Benefits at a glance

For your active everyday life.

More natural knee joint movement

The integrated EBS unit ensures damped and even flexion of the knee joint in the stance phase, enabling you to make more natural knee joint movements when walking – even when walking at different walking speeds (compared to polycentric joints without the EBS unit) and on gentle slopes.

For enhanced safety

The polycentric structure of the 3R60 provides reliable stability during the stance phase, shortens during the swing phase and can provide increased ground clearance, which can reduce your risk of getting the tip of your foot caught on the ground.

Mastering everyday life

Rejoice in increased freedom of movement thanks to the large knee flexion angle of 165°. Whether you’re being transported to your next destination while sitting on the train, kneeling to do some gardening or going for a bike ride – the high knee flexion angle of the 3R60 will support you.

Adaptable to your needs

Your O&P professional can adjust the hydraulic resistances of the swing phase independently of each other. This allows the knee joint to be easily adapted to your individual needs.

Modern design

Thanks to the modern geometric design, the excess length of the knee that occurs when sitting is smaller compared to the sound side.

Waterproof and corrosion-resistant

Thanks to its corrosion resistance and resistance to fresh, salt and chlorinated water, the 3R60 knee joint is suitable for use in the shower, at the pool and even at the sea.

3R60-PROKnee prosthetics

EBSpro knee joint, polycentric, with hydraulic swing phase control

How does the EBSpro work?The mechanical principle of the EBSpro is based on the proven 3R60 prosthetic joint.The polycentric prosthetic joint has five axes that are arranged to form a ring. The anterior axis chain is designed like a conventional four-axis joint, but the posterior linkage bar is interrupted by an additional pivot point (Fig. 1). The proven design thus allows for two different modes of operation: swing phase mode and stance phase flexion mode. Two specially configured miniature hydraulic units (Fig. 2, A+B) control the two modes. Outstanding performance during the stance phase is the key feature of the 3R60.The spring and hydraulics combination in stance phase flexion mode is individually adjustable and can be precisely adapted to suit the requirements of the prosthesis wearer. Thanks to the progressive nature of the EBS resistance – realised with an auto-adaptive EBS unit – the effect can adapt itself over a large range of walking speeds for the first time.The higher the walking speed, the greater the extent to which flexion is limited. The lower the walking speed, the less damping resistance takes effect. This ensures greater stance phase flexion (Fig. 3). In this way, this important function adapts to various everyday situations. For the prosthesis wearer, this means enhanced safety and comfort as well as a highly natural gait pattern.

3R80Knee prosthetics

Modular Knee Joint with Rotary Hydraulic

As a prosthesis wearer, you want to be confident that your knee joint meets your daily requirements and supports changing walking speeds. With the waterproof 3R80 knee joint, both the stance and the swing phase are controlled by the hydraulics. For example, walking down stairs step-over-step and walking down inclines are effectively supported by closely approximating a physiological gait pattern, even at various walking speeds. This allows users to manage their everyday lives with determination at their own pace.
