Hip disarticulation prostheses
One of medi's central aims is to improve the quality of life for affected individuals. It is our objective to develop innovations which will improve the functionality and quality of the products and to raise acceptance.
The amputation level hip disarticulation and hemipelvectomy, with the loss of the whole leg or even part of the hip joints, is the highest degree of amputation of the lower limb. Accordingly, it also requires the highest degree of prosthetic care.
Thus, the development of energy-storing and energy-returning systems was a major advance for this group of users.
The development of the HM3 hip joint in functional combination with the ESSA carbon system represents an innovative milestone in the provision of care for these users. With every step this complex hip disarticulation assembly stores sufficient energy to assist the rollover phase physiologically.

Above-knee prostheses
The optimization of tried-and-tested systems that genuinely boost the patient's quality of life leads us to new approaches in research and development.
The assembly of individual modular components for AK amputees is a daily challenge. The different mobility classes, secondary disorders and domestic circumstances, to name but a few, demand careful selection of the components.
Adjustments of the individual modular components of the prostheses to suit the individual patient's needs have become ever more common over the past few years.
This has resulted in a wide range of different knee joints to allow for the individual requirements of the users. For instance, OP2, OP3 and OP4 are knee joints that satisfy a high need for safety. Joints such as OHP3 guarantee a high degree of mobility.

Knee disarticulation prostheses
One of medi's declared objectives is to help the user get more out of his prosthesis.
The shape and fit of the socket and the selection of the individual modular components are always essential for successful treatment with a prosthesis.
The development of the VSS 3 system to ease donning of prostheses is just one of the steps that have lead to functional and safe care for the user. However, the continuation of the technical progress into the field of modular components offers the prosthesis wearer individual benefits.
New knee joints, energy-storing carbon systems such as ESSA for active users, and mobility-promoting carbon systems such as Clever Bone® for generic users all offer our patients practical and functional support in moving around.

Below-knee prostheses
medi is often asked to restore and improve mobility. The wide range of care options for BK amputees is thus a considerable challenge for manufacturers of prosthetic modular components.
Components individually developed to satisfy personal requirements for mobility such as Clever Bone^® for users who need support and protection, or the ESSA carbon system for more active users, and even stabilizing foot concepts like Dynawalk^® and energy-storing systems such as medipro^® flex feet have resulted in a high level of acceptance and corresponding use of these prostheses.
