Ossur Launches the New Flex-Foot® Assure for the Diabetic and Vascular AmputeeOssur Launches the New Flex-Foot® Assure for the Diabetic and Vascular Amputee

The new Flex-Foot Assure by Ossur is the perfect solution for the diabetic and vascular amputee population because it incorporates basic Flex-Foot technology that allows for a soft, smooth rollover, allowing for a stable gait with the benefits of a dynamic response.

Designed for slower-speed walkers, this foot incorporates an active heel combined with the full length keel, which work together to protect the vulnerable sound limb. Simply designed and simple to fit, the Assure restores symmetry, reducing impact on the sound side, allowing basic ambulators to take advantage of premium technology just right for them.

SleeveArt® Adds Blue HawaiiSleeveArt® Adds Blue Hawaii

Looking at this design, it's easy to envision a tiki hut on a beautiful beach. Maybe we're in Hawaii. Maybe we need a vacation!

Blue Hawaii is one of the three new SleeveArt styles, available as a prosthetic cover or as a laminating sleeve to your prosthetist. The covers are made from spandex, are easily removable, and are machine washable. SleeveArt covers come in more than 50 different styles with 15 sizes. These slippery covers eliminate "cling" from long pants.

So, get ready for summer with a new SleeveArt cover. Most of our styles are reasonably priced at $30, and some are on sale for only $20. If you want the benefit of a clean, slippery surface on your prosthesis but are unsure about the styles, please know that we offer a few skin tones and also plain black.
