Stellar SACH Prosthetic Foot
The Blatchford Stellar SACH is a prosthetic foot made with a Solid Ankle Cushioned Heel (SACH) design. Ideal for Level 1 and 2 activity, the Stellar SACH features a flexible keel and an adjustable screw, allowing heel cushion adjustment for optimum individual fit.
SAFETY
• Low stiffness at weight acceptance leads to early foot-flat and greater stability for
lower mobility patients
MOBILITY
• Satisfactory for patients with limited mobility in order to maintain mobility level
• Lightweight keel increases ease of use and is ideal for elderly users or those with
limited strength
• Durability tests confirm foot to be long-lasting for those with low mobility levels
USER SATISFACTION
• 54% satisfaction rate
• Satisfaction rates increase within the bilateral population
- Activity level 1
- Activity level 2
- Suitable for outdoor use
- Suitable for shower use
- Submersion to a depth of 1m
