LegSim™
Introduces TFZ Technology™

LegSim™ Introduces TFZ Technology™Hartford Walking Systems is committed to providing leg amputees with the independence they deserve. Our LegSimTM assistive walking device uses state-of-the-art technology to enable an upright and active lifestyle without hopping. We’ve incorporated feedback from both trained professionals and clients, including prosthetists and wounded veterans, to continuously improve the device and customize it to your specific height, weight, balance and alignment needs. Our torsion bar gives you more lateral stability, and our unique Targeted Flexion ZoneTM (TFZ) technology uses carbon fiber inserts to place the “sweet spot” of the foot precisely where you need it to flex the most for more comfort and less impact on your joints. You can even select a custom foot cover to add some personal style. The LegSim is backed by over 15 years of dedicated research on improving mobility, comfort and safety. Please join our mission to stop the hop!

Introducing KISS™ WrapStrap-R and KISS™ One-Way ValveIntroducing KISS™ WrapStrap-R and KISS™ One-Way Valve

Replace the tape on your below-knee prosthesis with a KISS WrapStrap-R. The WrapStrap-R provides:

  • Freedom to adjust linkage anywhere, anytime, without tools or materials
  • Strong construction to prevent air leakage
  • Protection from linear inversion while donning/doffing

The WrapStrap-R is clean, and leaves no sticky residue while linking your linear to your socket.

Combine the WrapStrap-R with a super low-profile KISS one-way expulsion valve. This valve offers the following features:

  • Ultra-quiet
  • 1mm build height
  • Lightweight (less than 1/10 ounce)
  • Unobtrusive and streamlined with the socket

With KISS, achieve superior results for all activity levels, including geriatric and pediatric.

Finally, skin care products created to help amputees, diabetics and anyone with problematic skin concerns. Our products contain natural essential oils to address troublesome areas. We use a high-quality therapeutic grade Tea Tree and finer quality essential oils. These oils have been called a “medicine chest in a bottle” and help with rashes, skin irritations, cysts, abrasions, dry skin patches, nail fungus, fungal infections, sunburn, and poison ivy, sumac and oak, as well as jungle rot and calluses.
