KiddieFLOW™
In response to clinician requests for an orthosis with more foot plate flexibility, Allard USA has extended its pediatric AFO line with KiddieFLOW™. KiddieFLOW™ allows for better control of foot positioning in late swing, which aids in stability during stance. FLOW models offer increased range of motion in the sagittal plane and a smoother transition (flow) throughout the gait cycle.

Vista Ankle
The Vista Ankle is a universal single-axis prosthetic ankle joint designed for elevated vacuum applications. The vacuum is generated from the ankle movements of plantarflexion and dorsiflexion during the gait cycle. The barb fitting for the vacuum hose connection is located inside the proximal tube clamp of the ankle, protecting it from damage. The distal female pyramid adapter is compatible with a wide range of prosthetic feet. The Vista Ankle is cost effective, low maintenance, and lightweight (13 oz/385 g) and has a weight limit of 275 lbs/125 kg.
