Polycentric hydraulic knee unit Proteor Hydeal II (France)

Product description

Hydraulic polycentric knee joint for active patients, providing smooth gait and stability in everyday life. Proteor Hydeal II is a high-tech polycentric knee joint with an updated hydraulic module, specially designed for active users who want to easily change their walking pace in daily life. Combining the advantages of 4-axis polycentric geometry and hydraulic control, Hydeal II ensures exceptional stability during the stance phase and remarkable smoothness during the swing phase. Thanks to the improved design, the joint makes the start of each step easier and softer, reduces fatigue, and allows confident movement both on city streets and uneven surfaces or during moderate sports activities. Key advantages of the Proteor Hydeal II knee joint Polycentric 4-axis geometry for high safety The polycentric design shifts the instantaneous center of rotation during stepping, ensuring increased geometric stability during the stance phase. This prevents involuntary knee buckling and provides a feeling of absolute safety on uneven surfaces. Updated hydraulic module The completely redesigned hydraulic unit provides an extremely smooth, light, and controlled start of the swing phase. The shank movement occurs naturally and adapts to changes in the user's walking pace. Separate adjustment of flexion and extension resistance Independent settings allow the prosthetist to precisely adjust the resistance to flexion and extension. This enables adaptation of the joint's function to the individual biomechanical needs of the patient for optimal walking comfort. Readiness for moderate sports activity Thanks to adaptive hydraulics and a wide range of motion, the Hydeal II knee joint is suitable not only for everyday walks but also for sports activities such as cycling. Why is the Proteor Hydeal II knee joint the ideal choice for active users? Dynamic adaptation to pace changes Active users constantly change their walking speed: from slow steps indoors to fast walking outdoors. The Hydeal II knee joint supports natural gait symmetry at any speed without additional effort from the patient. Ease of step and energy conservation The smooth and light initiation of leg swing significantly reduces the load on the stump and stump muscles. The user expends less effort on each step, conserving energy throughout the day. Confidence in any situation The combination of hydraulic braking and a 4-axis system guarantees reliable control both during stationary support and when moving over difficult terrain or slopes. Who is the Proteor Hydeal II knee joint suitable for? Users with moderate to high activity levels (levels 3–4); Patients after amputation at the thigh level or disarticulation at the knee joint; Active people who frequently change walking speed during the day; Patients who want to combine daily mobility with moderate sports activities (e.g., cycling); Users seeking a stable, smooth, and reliable polycentric hydraulic joint.
