Linx: Revolutionising Prosthetic Mobility

Linx, a revolutionary prosthetic solution, is not just an award-winning innovation. It's a game-changer in prosthetic care, offering a tailored experience that enhances freedom and independence. How does it achieve this? By closely mimicking the complexity of the human leg using cutting-edge technology and biomechanical principles.

Let’s find out how Linx stands out...

Seamless Integration of Technology and Biomechanics

Its distinction as the world's only fully integrated limb system is at the core of Linx's triumph. This integration seamlessly fuses microprocessor knee technology with hydraulic support systems, mirroring the human leg's intricate interplay of muscles and joints. Replicating natural limb movement's dynamic and adaptive qualities is crucial for long-term musculoskeletal health. Linx, the world's first lower limb prosthesis, incorporates a fully integrated response system to meet this user need. Through advanced sensors, Linx actively scrutinises user movement, activity, and environmental factors, providing real-time adjustments to ensure peak performance on any terrain.

Enhanced Stability and Confidence

Experience Freedom of Movement with Linx. Raymond Kazzazi, Blatchford Territory Manager, raves about Linx's ability to provide users with a seamless, natural gait and effortless adaptability to various terrains. This stability and confidence result from Linx's unique hydraulic and pneumatic chamber, which allows for enhanced stance and swing, deep-yielding stance flexion, and ramp assist. With Linx, you can engage in standing support while fully extending it, ensuring unmatched comfort and safety during your daily activities.
