Perhaps the biggest request of all since the Pathfinder hit the market in March of 2000 was for us to develop a shorter Pathfinder. Now your patients, who always wanted to try this award winning, dynamic response, energy-storing foot but didn't have the clearance, can experience the WOW that a Pathfinder has to offer. The Low-Profile Pathfinder incorporates the same alignment theories, design elements and physical benefits as the original Pathfinder, but it is 1 to 1 ¼ inches shorter. This extra clearance allows you to fit the Pathfinder to patients who have longer residual limbs or 8 inches or more of clearance.Since introducing the Pathfinder, we have qualified the foot for a higher weight limit at 350 pounds; incorporated the composite materials into the Impulse foot, a value priced, energy-storing solution for endoskeletal, exoskeletal and Symes applications; and now we have increased the clearance with the Low-Profile Pathfinder. In order to offer a variety of solutions to our diverse market, we will continue our extensive research and development efforts, finding ways to enhance our product assortment by incorporating our successful materials and designs.
