The joint was quickly identified as an older version of the
UltraSafeStep knee joint by Ultraflex. Thanks to all who so quickly
replied.
Original Inquiry: I’m trying to identify a knee joint on an adult KAFO
that is in need of
repair. It is a hip lever release type. The hip lever is huge–1.5″
wide plastic gray lever. The hip lever juts out of the “pulley”
mechanism (resembling a small hockey puck)–2.5″ wide by A?” thick,
black
in color. The cables, enshrouded with plastic tubing, attach into the
superior aspect of the knee joints. The knee joint is modular and is
offset distally by about A?”. The joint itself is not offset, just
where
the distal sidebar attaches. There is a plastic “snap” piece, about
the size of a dime, that inserts over the knee axis on the outside. On
the plastic snap piece is a red and blue logo. Red outlining. In the
center there are 3 blue markings that resemble “S”s in kind of a
“wave”
fashion.
