Ready to help patients take on everyday life - in all weathers?
We’re delighted to announce that Orion3 is now rated IP55. Wearers can officially walk freely outside without fearing the weather - or the ingress of water.
We’ve combined everything people love about our intelligent microprocessor knee with innovative drainage holes, providing reliable protection against the elements.
Key features include:
Designed to deliver a superior walking experience across multiple terrains and speeds, Orion3 is a hybrid hydraulic/pneumatic microprocessor knee suitable for activity level 3 walkers. The device responds in a proportionate and natural way giving greater stability, enabling smooth, easy and comfortable walking and significantly reducing falls.
Orion3 is designed with Blatchford’s patented Performance Response Technology ™. PRT combines hydraulics, pneumatics, microprocessor and sensors to control the stance and swing phases of the gait cycle. This innovation delivers new levels of biomimicry - allowing amputees to replicate natural limb movement more closely than ever before.
Orion3 is a water resistant microprocessor knee. After being stringently tested and exposed to jets of water from multiple directions, Orion3 was revealed to provide IP55-level protection against the entry of fresh water. Meaning from light showers to heavy downpours, Orion3 is fully prepared for mother nature.
Orion3 is clinically proven to reduce falls and deliver a superior walking experience. The microprocessor control puts enhanced safety into every step. From descending stairs and tackling rough terrains to walking at varying speeds, Orion3 is constantly looking after wearers.
With the freedom to move, comes the freedom to live. Orion3 empowers amputees to take on everyday life - in all its forms. The knee constantly monitors and adapts to keep wearers safe in a wide variety of situations.
Orion3 means freedom...
The freedom to do what I want to do, when I want to do it - without limitation.
I can’t really imagine living without the Orion3. Nothing has come close to giving me the freedom to live life.
* Waterproof rated to IP55. Product is weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use, but not suitable for submersion in water or showering.
