Hydraulic knee unit Proteor Hytrek (France)

Product description

Single-axis hydraulic knee joint for active patients with transfemoral amputation, providing stable and smooth gait on various surface types. Proteor Hytrek is a high-end single-axis knee joint equipped with a powerful hydraulic system for controlling stance and swing phases, as well as a reliable manual lock. Designed specifically for dynamic and demanding users, this joint enables confident overcoming of any obstacles in daily life: from fast walking over rough terrain to safe descending stairs with alternating steps. The Hytrek knee joint combines exceptional structural strength, the ability to withstand extreme loads, and weather resistance. It is a flawless choice for users leading an intensive lifestyle, engaging in sports, and requiring maximum control over the prosthesis in any situation. Key advantages of the Proteor Hytrek knee joint Full hydraulic control of stance and swing phases The advanced hydraulic system ensures smooth, controlled knee flexion and extension. It automatically adapts to the user's pace, guaranteeing a natural gait regardless of walking speed. Effective hydraulic braking system Thanks to a wide braking range, the joint provides a high level of safety and support. This allows the user to descend slopes and stairs step-by-step in a controlled and safe manner, feeling reliable support beneath. Reliable manual locking (lock) The presence of a manual lock allows the user to forcibly fix the knee in a fully extended position. This is an indispensable feature for prolonged standing at work, performing tasks requiring maximum stability, or moving in challenging conditions (e.g., slippery surfaces). Extension assist for maximum stability The built-in extension assist mechanism ensures timely and clear knee straightening before the next step, guaranteeing safe weight transfer onto the prosthesis. Exceptional strength for extreme loads Made from high-quality materials (aluminum, steel, titanium), the joint can withstand loads up to 150 kg. Its reliability is confirmed by rigorous testing under heavy loads for 3 million cycles. Resistance to any weather conditions The Hytrek knee joint is reliably protected from environmental influences, allowing confident use regardless of weather: during rain, high humidity, or dirt, supporting active outdoor recreation. Why is the Proteor Hytrek knee joint the best choice for active users? Readiness for intensive activity This joint is created for those who do not like to limit themselves. It is ideal for: sports and active recreation (tourism, hiking); work involving carrying and lifting heavy loads; confident walking at various speeds on all surface types, including slopes and stairs. Balance between dynamics and safety Hydraulic damping smoothly absorbs kinetic energy, reducing excessive load on the stump and joints of the intact limb, making intensive walking less exhausting. Durability and quality guarantee High-quality assembly and wear-resistant materials ensure a long service life. The manufacturer provides a 36-month warranty on the joint, confirming its exceptional reliability. Who is the Proteor Hytrek knee joint suitable for? users with high mobility levels (K3 and K4) leading an active, dynamic lifestyle; patients weighing up to 150 kg (or those regularly carrying additional weight); people requiring hydraulic stability for safe descending stairs and slopes; patients needing the option of rigid manual knee locking for specific work or household tasks; users seeking a durable mechanical system resistant to weather conditions and extreme loads.
