New generation covers
Aqualeg is a company inspired by patients to create prosthetic solutions that meet the needs of amputees, particularly for activities involving water. The document outlines the features and benefits of Aqualeg prostheses and covers.
Specifications
- The prosthesis is designed for all activities, including swimming in the ocean or pool.
- It features easy access to adapters for adjustments by prosthetists.
- The Aqualeg cover is self-supporting and removable, suitable for growing children, and does not require foam underneath.
- The average thickness of the cover is 3 mm, with 1 mm at the foot.
Functionality and Design
- Aqualeg prostheses are designed to maintain the essential functions of a walking leg while being water-resistant.
- Components include dynamic response feet, corrosion-resistant adapters, and water-resistant hydraulic knees.
- The prosthesis can be worn for extended periods, suitable for holidays or year-round use.
- The cosmetic covers provide lifelike aesthetics, replicating the patient's opposite limb with a skin tone selected from a chart.
Behavior in Water
- The cover fills with water for neutral buoyancy and drains quickly through the ankle upon exiting the water.
Ordering Instructions
- Orders require photos of the sound limb, and optionally, a scan.
- The cover's shape is influenced by the positioning of valves and push buttons, which should be placed on the posterior side.
- Skin tone is selected from a silicone chart, with a recommendation for a medium tone.
Customization and Measurements
- Custom 3D models are available for personalized fit.
- Measurements required include knee joint, ground circumference, M-L diameter, and A-P diameter.
- Options for cover adjustment include positioning underneath or above the sleeve.
Contact Information
- Aqualeg SAS Europe is located in Nantes, France, and Aqualeg, Inc. USA is located in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
- Contact details include phone numbers, fax, and email addresses for both locations.
