PROTEOR Expands Prosthetic Foot Portfolio

PROTEOR has recently announced the launch of two innovative additions to its lower-limb prosthetic lineup: the EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER. This expansion is set to revolutionize mobility options for clinicians and users globally. In an effort to better support individuals with different mobility needs, PROTEOR is committed to creating solutions tailored to the lifestyles of users, rather than having them adjust to the limitations of traditional prosthetic technology.

Introducing EXONEO CORE

Designed specifically for K2 ambulators, the EXONEO CORE aims to enhance both stability and comfort. Individuals classified within this category often strive for a delicate balance; a foot offering heightened comfort can compromise stability and vice versa. The EXONEO CORE directly addresses this issue through its biomimetic design, which features plantar springs capable of absorbing vertical shocks while adapting swiftly to uneven terrains.

In addition, the foot maintains ground contact during the toe-off phase, allowing for a natural toe extension of up to 20 degrees. This adjustment not only aids in stability as users complete each step, but also boasts a low-profile structure that offers versatile fitting options.

Through the EXONEO CORE, PROTEOR empowers K2 ambulators to achieve greater independence, as this design focuses on promoting safety and comfort in their daily routines.

Meet the HOPPER OUTSIDER

On the other hand, PROTEOR’s HOPPER OUTSIDER offers a blend of sport-edge functionality and everyday versatility. Traditionally, prosthetic feet categorized for regular use and those made for sports have forced users to make compromises. The HOPPER OUTSIDER breaks this norm by merging the responsive characteristics typical of sport-centric blades with features suitable for daily activities.

Developed in collaboration with HOPPER, the OUTSIDER is equipped with a continuous InfiniFoam pad. This design promotes seamless transitioning between casual walking and more active endeavors, eliminating the need for users to switch between different prosthetic feet—allowing them to easily partake in various activities from park outings to family runs.

Beyond its functional capabilities, OUTSIDER is manufactured using upcycled carbon fiber and embraces new techniques in foot-shell construction, positioning itself as an environmentally aware alternative in functional design.

A Unified Vision

Both the EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER embody PROTEOR's commitment to finding innovative solutions that cater to individual mobility needs. By enhancing K2 capabilities with EXONEO CORE and expanding opportunities for active lifestyles with the HOPPER OUTSIDER, PROTEOR underscores its HumanFirst philosophy—placing users at the heart of product development.

Eric Ferris, Vice President of Global Marketing and Product Management at PROTEOR, emphasizes, "Our portfolio is designed with the patient's lifestyle in mind rather than just a catalog approach. Each product addresses specific needs: EXONEO CORE helps K2 ambulators feel safe and secure with every step, while HOPPER OUTSIDER offers the freedom to transition between daily tasks and dynamic activities."

The combined launch of these products signifies PROTEOR's continuous endeavor to provide comprehensive mobility choices, ultimately aimed at enabling individuals to navigate their lives with increased ease and freedom.
