INVENTORS
FLEX-FOOT ®
Flex-Foot was first introduced in 1984 by prosthetic user, research prosthetist, and inventor Van Phillips. Two
critical breakthroughs made these products unique and revolutionized the everyday aspirations of amputees.
The first, energy storage and release, is a function inherent in the patented carbon fiber design of Flex-Foot. The
second, vertical shock absorption, enables a more natural gait and protects the sound limb and remaining joints
of the amputated limb from excessive shock.
WHY FLEX-FOOT?
Different functions are available within the Flex-Foot range to suit individual needs. All models offer significant
advantages over conventional prosthetic feet. Twenty years of scientific material research lead to this unparalleled
design, making Flex-Foot the ideal choice for durability, comfort and performance.
