The VGK-S is a revolutionary, new approach in prosthetic treatment.
This is the only advanced hydraulic knee joint specifically designed for amputees with short trans femoral stumps.
Why is the VGK-S revolutionary?
Before the invention of the VGK-S, amputees with short trans femoral stumps had to struggle with the weight of an advanced knee joint (hammer/pendulum effect) or choose simple and limited light joints which could not provide important functions. As a result, amputees could not reach an optimal prosthetic outcome.
Now, everything has changed.
The VGK-S provides new opportunities in mobility for approximately 30% of trans femoral amputees who may have lost hope in their prosthetic treatment.
The VGK-S uses a self-adaptive fluidic system, similar to its predecessor, the VGK-Go! But, the VGK-S is lighter with an innovative space frame.
The center of gravity of the VGK-S is located ABOVE its center of rotation. This means that the VGK-S does not create its own hammer effect, so undesirable for amputees frustrated in dealing with the short trans femoral stump!
This characteristics is what makes the VGK-S revolutionary!
