U-Flex: one piece, made to measure
The spacers are integrated into the cover and tailored to the prosthesis. The cover can be created parametrically from measurements. The prosthetics provider checks the final fit and freedom of movement.
Material, closure and handling, matched to the cover supplied.
The spacers are integrated into the cover and tailored to the prosthesis. The cover can be created parametrically from measurements. The prosthetics provider checks the final fit and freedom of movement.
The zip can tension the flexible cover so it sits closely against the prosthetic socket. It is opened and closed manually when removing or refitting the cover, requiring more handling than the magnetic closure.
The magnetic closure closes automatically and makes the cover easier to put on and take off. The magnet retaining ring protects the magnets and holds them in position. Unlike a zip, it does not achieve a close fit by tensioning a zipper; the fit to the prosthesis is decisive.
Ask your prosthetics provider to show you how to remove and refit the cover. Attachment and handling depend on the model supplied. The video on the homepage shows one cover version as an example.
