Delta Twist Shock Absorber


Independently Adjustable Internal and External Rotation AND Vertical Shock Pylon System.

Shock Absorption With Just the Right Twist.

The Delta Twist™ offers the ultimate in controlling vertical and rotational forces.

Otto Bock Delta Twist
  • Interchangeable elastomer plates, ranging from soft (red) to medium (yellow) to hard (green) allow you to adjust internal and external rotation independently, creating a softer, more elastic internal rotation at heel strike and a firmer, more biomechanically correct external rotation during toe-off. In addition, you can purchase an extra hard (black) rotational plate that can eliminate one or both of the rotational directions.

  • A continuously adjustable tension setting along with interchangeable elastomer bars allow for precise adaptation to your patient's weight and activity. This grants smooth dampening of shock forces and provides a more comfortable gait.

Indications


  • To reduce the strain on the remaining joint and muscle system due to shock forces from normal ambulation.

  • To help counteract the strain of torsional loads on the residual limb caused by everyday activities such as getting in a car, golfing, walking on uneven surfaces, or walking in crowds.

Two Models are currently available


  • 4R120 - For connection with a 30mm tube adapter, for patients up to 220 lbs with moderate to high activity levels.

  • 4R121=30 - Includes integrated modular 30mm tube, for patients up to 220 lbs with moderate to high activity levels.
