Pathfinder™ Overview
The Pathfinder’s proven durability and unique triangular design make this the foot of choice for active amputees.
Pathfinder™ FOOT W / Adapter
Pathfinder™ - The Road to Freedom Awaits!

The Pathfinder™ Foot took the market by storm as the long awaited foot for activity levels three and four. Its proven durability and unique triangular design make this foot the foot of choice for active amputees. The Pathfinder™ has four main components: a pneumatic heel spring, two composite toe springs, a composite foot plate, and a proximal adapter. These components work together to provide amputees with more flexibility, greater dynamic response, and pre-loading of the toe. The Pathfinder™ is offered with four proximal adapter options and 7 toe spring stiffnesses. It carries a weight limit up to 350 pounds (160 kg).

General Guidelines
The Composite Toe Spring Stiffness Chart indicates weight categories where we believe a majority of patients will be classified. The Pathfinder™ offers you the opportunity to move either up one category towards increased stiffness, or down one category towards decreased stiffness, depending on the activity level of the amputee.
