Discover Tectus® - our brand new microprocessor KAFO.
What happens when you take 130 years of Blatchford experience in prosthetics and apply it to orthotics?
You get the smartest microprocessor KAFO on the market.
Tectus® is a life-changing intelligent orthotic device. It enables patients with partial lower limb paralysis to walk more easily, naturally, and comfortably than ever before.
Four reasons why Tectus® is a ground-breaking innovation for patients with partial lower limb paralysis:
Superior comfort.
Tectus® is small and lightweight. At just 660g, the modular design allows comfortable and flexible positioning to accommodate any thigh size.
Pioneering technology.
Discover Performance Response Technology™ from Blatchford. PRT’s unique combination of spring, hydraulic, sensor and microprocessor allows your patients to replicate a more natural gait cycle.
Enhanced safety.
Tectus® gives you complete confidence that your patients are protected in their daily activities. The design is clinically proven to reduce falls, decrease energy expenditure and minimise muscle fatigue. Safety is built into every step.
Improved outcomes.
And most importantly, Tectus delivers life-changing mobility. Wearers can embrace everyday activities from walking at varying speeds on uneven terrain, to descending stairs and prolonged periods of standing.
Natural movement. Peace of mind. Improved mobility. Give your patients what matters most with Tectus®
Small, lightweight, modular design:
Comfortable, easy to wear and minimally invasive.
5 activity modes:
Give patients the autonomy to move unaided and embrace everyday activities. Wearers can switch between walk, sit, stairs, lock and free modes.
Controlled standing support:
Allows fully-supported standing for as long as needed, expending less energy and decreasing muscle fatigue.
Biomimetic PRT™ technology:
Provides a more natural walking gait than any other microprocessor KAFO.
Remote control and digital display:
Full visibility of device status, with option to control via a discreet remote control.
Gait Evaluation Monitor:
Allows clinicians to analyse patient data and programme the optimum gait.

Simply complete the form below and we'll be in touch with more information.
Condition: While serving in the UK military, Alex had an accident resulting in Cauda Equina syndrome following herniated spinal discs. He had many years of rehabilitation, and now 10 years on, he has right lower limb weakness, chronic sciatic pain, hip dysfunction, and lower back pain (all managed better with the Tectus®).
Condition: Alfie had a left knee injury and ruptured left Achilles tendon. After multiple orthopaedic surgeries, unfortunately, with unsuccessful outcomes, Alfie has chronic sciatica hip pain from unsymmetrical walking with a locked KAFO (resolved with the Tectus®). She presents with left lower limb weakness and tonal pull inwards of her left foot/ankle.
Condition: Mick had a stroke affecting his left arm and leg and had an elective left arm amputation due to ongoing neurological pain with any contact. He has left lower limb weakness, knee hyperextension, and equino-varus pull of the foot/ankle complex with drop foot.
