| Prosthetic Feet |
Dycor's prosthetic feet are the lightest on the market today. Significant weight reduction is accomplished with use of a unique patented resin transfer infusion and lightweight polypropylene components. Dycor designers achieve the blend of comfort, balance, and design by successfully combining the technology and application of three critical components:
1. Shock and shear absorption
2. Flexibility and resiliency
3. Versatility and reliability.

DYCOR'S "K SERIES" FEET. |
| The Dycor “K Series” feet are designed for clinical gradient or gradual change in response to level of activity. This gradient is not always clearly defined by conventional nomenclature. Consequently, Dycor’s “K Series” products will be defined in terms of clinical applicability relating to transfers and ADLs. Please review the product descriptions below. |

|
K1A (Assisted Transfer) “K SERIES” L5972
Dycor’s new “K Series” K1A prosthetic foot is ideal for assisted transfer for ankle disarticulation and transtibial levels. It is also well suited for the transfermoral level when used with a manual lock or safety knee. For bi-lateral assisted transfer, the K1A foot should be used in conjunction with a K2A (Assisted ADL) “K Series” foot (dominant side). The biomechanical design of the K1A (Assisted Transfer) ”K Series” foot is ideal because it minimizes ground reaction force without the weight of an ankle joint. The weight of the keel, titanium pyramid and integrated foot shell is 7 oz. (198 grams). Weight limit is 100 (min.) -340 (max.) lbs., depending on size
K2U (Unassisted Transfer) “K SERIES” L5972
Dycor’s new “K Series” K2U prosthetic foot is ideal for unassisted transfer. The design is similar to the K1A (assisted transfer) “K Series” foot, and incorporates firmer dorsiflexion and plantar flexion bumpers. For bilateral unassisted transfer, the K2U should be used in conjunction with a K2A (assisted ADL) “K Series” foot (dominate side). Weight is 7 oz./198 grams. (26 med.) including integrated foot shell. Weight limit is 99 lb.(min.) – 295 lb. (max.) depending on size.
K2A (Assisted ADL) “K SERIES” L5976
Dycor’s new “K Series” K2A foot is ideal for uni and bilateral assisted ADL. Similar to the “K Series” K1A and K2U feet, the “K Series” K2A foot is extremely light and durable (7 oz. including integrated EVA foot shell). The “K Series” K2A relies on plantar flexion bumper compression and dorsi-deflection of the semi rigid thermoplastic keel. Weight limit is 113 lbs. (min.) to 295 lbs.(max.), depending on size. Patent and patent pending.
K3U (Unassisted ADL) “K SERIES” L5981
Dycor’s new “K Series” K3U foot relies on plantar compression of rubber bumpers and dorsi-deflection of a semi-flexible keel. This combination provides an ideal platform for clients that prefer resiliency, durability and lightness for both uni-lateral and bi-lateral unassisted ADL. Weight limit is 99 lb. (min.) to 259 lb. (max.) depending on size. Weight of foot is 7 oz. including integrated EVA foot shell. Patent & patent pending.

IPO - Initial Post-Operative
Patented L5975+5984
The IPO foot is designed to minimize excessive stress to the wound site during immediate or initial post operative ambulation. The combined weight of the multi axial flexible keel foot, dynamic response pylon and socket attachment plate is 16 ounces, which reduces pistoning during swing phase. The polypropylene flexible keel and tri axial ankle motion reduces sheer during weight bearing. Walking on the IPO foot is very similar to walking on a crutch tip that pivots, and reduces applied stress other than those that directly contributing to therapeutic venus pressure gradient. Options low (½”) and medium (1” heel height) 22-30cm). |

TMF - Transtarsal Transmetatarsal
Flexible Keel
Patented L5972
The TMF foot is bi-valve expanded EVA foam ideally suited for transtarsal and transmetatarsal applications where cosmetic restoration of the forefoot is of primary concern. |

LCE - Lisfranc Chopart Energy Storing FootTMF
Patented and Patent Pending L5976
Flexibility of the LCE prosthetic foot is very similar to the original Seattle Energy Storing and Ohio Willowood´s Carbon Copy II foot. However, the average weight, including the foot shell is only 4 ounces. The advanced composite epoxy and fiberglass keel can be sanded to conformity and epoxied directly to the Transtarsal/Lisfranc Chopart level prosthetic socket. Available in low profile (1/2").

LCD - Lisfranc Chopart Energy Return TMF
Patented and Patent Pending L5981
The flexibility of this foot is similar to the Flex Foot’s original Flex Walk foot. The average weight of the LCD is 10 ounces and is available in low profile (1/2”). The forefoot is horizontally split into 5 segments to maintain the same degree of forefoot flexibility regardless of medial and lateral shift of the floor reaction. Integrated carbon fiber “tie ins” around the heel portion of the keel are epoxied directly to the end of the socket, forming a stronger lap joint between the heel segment of the keel and the prosthetic socket. |

SYM - Flexible Keel, Uni or Bi-axial Ankle R.O.M.
Patented L5975+5984
The SYM Syme prosthetic foot has a molded polypropylene flexible keel available in three sizes to accommodate and weight and K1-3 Level. The combination of the flexible keel and multi axial ankle with the soft tissue management (STM) torque absorber (5 ft. lbs.) option results in a very forgiving and accommodating prosthesis. This is particularly useful in the soft tissue and gait management of diabetic clients. |

|

FDS - Syme/Transtibial Energy Return
Patented and Patent Pending L5981
Similar to the LCD, the FDS foot is segmented horizontally into five layers. The titanium foot adapter is integrated into the advanced composite keel, minimizing socket floor clearance. The heel portion of the keel (posterior to the adapter) is a flexible urethane-fiberglass composite which deflects to cushion heel contact. |

DR- Extra Dynamic Response Articulated Ankle
Patented L5979
The function of the DR foot is very similar to the original College Park energy returning articulated foot. The average weight of the DR foot, including the EVA integrated foot shell is 12 ounces. The DR foot is ideal for wearers that require more stability than a flexible keel with articulated ankle, and where resiliency is preferred. The optional aggressive gait management (AGM) torque absorber provides appropriate yield and return for moderate level extra ambulatory activity. The DR Foot is available in two versions, DR 2 for K2 and DR 3 for K3. Available in uni, bi or tri axial with Low and med heel height options.
Dycor’s "DR Series" DR2 foot is ideal for unassisted transfer and assisted ADL (K2). For bi-lateral unassisted transfer, the DR2 foot should be used with a higher "dash number" or DR3 foot on the dominate side. Uni, bi or tri-axial (STM transverse torque absorber 5 ft. lbs.) articulation option, low or medium profile options. Weight of foot, titanium adapter and integrated EVA foot shell is 312 grams (11 ozs.)
Dycor's "DR Series" DR3 foot is well suited for uni or bilateral unassisted ADL (K3). Similar to the DR2 foot, the DR3 has optional uni, bi or tri-axial (AGM transverse torque absorber, 10 ft. lbs.) and low or medium profile options. Weight of foot, titanium adapter and integrated EVA foot shell is 312 grams (11 ozs.).

AFP - Flexible Keel Single Axis (FSA) and
Flexible Multi Axis (FMA)
Patented L5975 and L5984
Dycor’s original ADL foot is designed for low to moderate ADL. The flexible molded polypropylene keel and articulated ankle is forgiving and accommodating, and allows the prosthetic wearer achieve and maintain a “non reactive” weight bearing foot for as long as possible during the weight bearing stance phase. Low profile and med. profile options are available. Articulated ankle options are uni axial or bi axial with integrated STM (5 ft. lbs.) or AGM (10 ft. lbs.) transverse torque absorbers. The uni axial version is remarkably simple in design and lends itself to a high degree of reliability even when used by non-geriatric, K3 level wearers. |
