Choice of interface:
Carbon composite: Used by practitioners for patients that present with stable limb volume and good skin integrity. Carbon composite interface patients may also benefit from the increased intimacy of fit and relatively higher strength to weight ratio in comparison to plastic. Carbon composite allows for a better translation of forces to the USS Adjustable Dynamic Response™ componentry.

Thermoplastic: Used by practitioners who desire more adjustability of the orthosis interface and prefer a more traditional approach for their patients. |
