Many years of experience in hydraulic engineering along with a working partnership with a major Design Company specialising in the field of electronics has resulted in an exciting new product from Ortho Europe, the SENSOR PROFILE Knee.

SENSOR PROFILE Knee can suit a new amputee right through to the enhanced mobility and control required for activities such as golf, cycling, hicking and gardening.

SENSOR PROFILE Knee is an example of 21st century precision engineering but all engineered components will wear over a period of time and therefore a maintenance programme is sensible, as with even the most expensive, well built motorcar. The philosophy of the past was often "use until it breaks" This is no good for the amputee with only one prosthesis. We all know of examples of knee units which have needed repair after a short while and others of the same design which show no sign of wear after many years. The guessing is removed with SENSOR PROFILE. Service intervals can be planned and this will allow engineers to replace any worn parts to prevent premature failure, even for the most demanding amputees.
