VACX Foot

$29.00

Features

  • VACX is a carbon fiber foot which has been developed based on the Winged Foot Structure.
  • “Active Vacuum Unit” of the VAC-100 product has been placed on the Winged Foot to generate an elevated vacuum inside of the socket.
  • Generated vacuum occurs between user’s liner and the socket to prevent pistoning movement and grip the stump firmly
  • This system cancels out the need of using locks and silicone liners with the pin system.
  • Absorbs high reaction forces of the ground and creates vacuum on each step.
  • Totally Multi-axial body, allows 10 degrees of Inversion Eversion
  • VACX Foot should be used together with low height Foot Shell, please check through the Foot Shell section at the end of the Carbon feet range.
  • Foot Shell should be ordered separately.

Vacuuming the Socket

The socket should be sealed with sleeves to create vacuum-able environment inside. Once the environment is sealed, which is compressed and released during the walking, the vacuum unit draws air from the socket through the one-way valve and evacuates it through the pump. After multiple steps of the user, 15 in. Hg (around 0.5 bar) vacuum is created in the sealed socket

Impact Absorption

When load is placed on the toe, main carbon plate twists through C-shaped inner carbon plate. In this case, inner plate behaves like a shock absorber and shares the impact force with main plate. This movement also supports energy return to toe-off phase.
