MONOLITHIC PROSTHESIS
It is made from a braided carbon fiber material and when
combined with resin produces a plastic that is pound for pound
stronger than steel. The AIRLITE prosthesis is fabricated using
a unique process that incorporates a carbon composite ankle
block.
The AIRLITE prosthesis is available with a fixed ankle
(AB 1) or the new alignable ankle (AB2). The new Alignable
Ankle incorporates the same laminating procedure, while
allowing for +/- 10 degrees of dorsi or plantar flexion by using
alignment wedges. The Airlite prosthesis is available as a Starter
Kit which includes: either ankle, 5" & 2" braided carbon fiber,
tooling rod and nyglass.
The result is a prosthesis weighing an incredibly minimal
11/2 to 2 pounds, which is the lightest below knee prosthesis
available on the market today!
The Airlite Monolithic Prosthesis has become well accepted as the "ultimate in ultra lightweight and low cost".
During the design and engineering of this artificial limb, our
goal was to create an endoskeletal prosthesis that is easy to
fabricate, strong and durable.
