Endolite Blatchford Linx Microprocessor Prosthetic Knee & Foot. Just Serviced!. Up for auction is a lightly used Endolite Blatchford Linx Microprocessor Prosthetic Knee & Foot with charger and hard cover. The knee was placed into service with me in late 2017 and only lightly used (I have three different knees I use). I have a few chips as seen in the pictures that are only cosmetic and happened prior to using the cover a couple of months in. The hard cover is included in the auction. Knee was sent back after 3 years to be re-conditioned and was only used a couple of times since. The foot shell is a size 30 with a cat 9 spring but the spring and foot shell can be changed to suit your needs (talk to your prosthesis for options and pricing). Everything functions as it should! Leg is programmed for me but will need to be programed to be used by a different user so please talk to your prosthetist before buying this. The leg can be used as a left or right but it only comes with the left foot shell. If you have or buy a Right shell the prosthesis will work for the right side. The microprocessor foot and knee are universal. Foot size 30, category 9, with shell. This is a microprocessor knee/foot and it would be wise to get help from your local prosthetist. He or she can assist you in programming the knee, adjusting the height and attaching it your socket as well as purchase options should you need a different size/weight foot spring. You should ask your prosthetist if they are willing to do this for you prior to purchase, if applicable. The leg is programmed currently but not specifically for you. Linx is the first fully integrated, microprocessor controlled, lower limb system available in the world. Every element is part of a design whole that balances energy, posture and sensation for a truly captivating walking experience. The revolution is the master controller that coordinates the Linx response so the different parts work together in harmony Integrated sensors continually analyze data, adjusting the hydraulic technology to seamlessly align the leg for the next step. This integrated and coordinated limb response ensures fast adjustment times and easy navigation of slopes and steps, allowing the user to think about where they are going, rather than how they are going to get there. Down Ramps Linx delivers controlled ramp descent with different response levels for steep and shallow slopes. The knee and foot work together to optimize the rate of plantar-flexion and dorsi-flexion. The knee resistance is simultaneously adapted by introducing an intermediate resistance. On intermediate ramps, Linx offers a braking effect at both the knee and ankle that secures the whole body for safe descent. Up Ramps The knee and foot work in unison to dorsi-flex quickly. The toe remains dorsi- flexed for safe and efficient swing-through, while the heel stiffens to support the knee flexion. If stationary on a ramp, the toe will remain in dorsi-flexion to help reduce the extension moment on the knee, allowing a more upright posture for a more comfortable standing position. Speed and Terrain Additional synergies gained from simultaneous knee and foot programming, combined with the optimized control unit and hydraulic/pneumatic system means smoother transitions between speeds, and effortless progression over varied terrain. • Varying levels of stance resistance to optimize safety at all times: - Standing support Maximum resistance stabilizes the knee and foot, on both flat and slopes, encouraging better posture and balanced loading to relieve pressure on the sound limb and lower back. - Supported sitting Progressive hydraulic resistance ensures greater support and control allowing the user to sit down with safety, confidence and more balanced loading across both limbs. - Controlled stance support Supportive resistance throughout stance phase provides optimal stability for walking with greater safety and less effort on all-terrain. - Stumble recovery Stance resistance engages during swing phase extension to ensure knee stability, should the user stumble. Under such circumstances the flexion resistance dynamically increases to provide enhanced stumble recovery. - Dynamic stair descent With immediate support from the first step, knee resistance progressively increases with knee flexion for enhanced control and safety when descending stairs. - Dynamic slope descent The integrated knee and foot response allows the user to walk leg-over-leg on intermediate slopes. • Situational Awareness Integrated sensors continuously collect data on the user, activity and terrain to seamlessly adapt the limb’s response. • Biomimetic Hydraulic Technology By considering the natural function of the limb and replacing its structure through a unique combination of design elements, Endolite biomimetic hydraulic technology provides greater safety and a more natural walking experience. • Cycling Mode and Fixed Angle Flexion Lock Mode • Knee Flexion to 130° • Intuitive Programming Software • Lithium Ion batteries with up to 3 days life • Battery Life Indicator and Low Power Mode International disclaimer INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING-YOU THE BUYER ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF DELAY OR LOST SHIPMENTS AFTER THE PACKAGE HAS LEFT THE USA. YOU ALSO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY TAXES OR CUSTOM CHARGES WITHIN YOUR PARTICULAR COUNTRY. THE ITEM WILL BE SENT TO THE ADDRESS LISTED ON YOUR EBAY ACCOUNT. MAKE SURE THIS ADDRESS IS CORRECT.

Ask your prosthetist prior to purchase to see if he is willing to program the item for you. You can Google the item to find even more information about it International purchases will have to pay the high shipping cost. I will charge a flat rate fee of $250. The shipping cost will usually be more than this. I will cover the difference if it is more. If it is less I will refund you the difference. The shipping should get there fast. The reasoning in using the expensive shipping Carries (ups, dhl, fedex) is to try to reduce customs complications and issues.
