This lisitng is for my Mom who recently lost her husband due to a blood clotting disease which caused him to have his right leg amputated. He recieved the C-Leg the end of 2006 and used it not even a dozen times. I don't know much about the leg other than it's in Excellent working condition. It was very well taken care of and there's barely any scratches on it. He never really got a chance to fully use it due to his overall health. :-( My mom did say it cost around $58,000
I did take many pictures of it but ebay only allows so many pictures so if your serious about this auction I would be more than happy to email you other pictures. There's also a couple books I will ship out.
- Fully microprocessor-controlled leg prosthesis system
- Automatic real time adaptation to step speed, length, and frequency
- High level of safety and minimal risk of falling
- Best possible resemblance to the natural gait pattern
- Wireless Remote Control and additional standing mode for more independence and comfort
The C-Leg is the first and only leg prosthesis system worldwide with a fully microprocessor-controlled stance and swing phase. Through the use of unique C-Leg Technology, it has set a new standard for stability, comfort and regained mobility for transfemoral amputees.
The C-Leg adjusts to the requirements of the prosthesis wearer in real time and therefore ensures a level of dynamic response and security previously unattained. By now, over 25,000 C-Leg wearers all over the world are profiting from these advantages. Many of their ideas and wishes, combined with years of experience, were the driving force behind the introduction of new features in 2006. The result: The new C-Leg with Wireless Remote Control and an optimized service and warranty concept. The technical development of the C-Leg can be easily recognized by the anthracite-colored frame.
The C-Leg Offers many Advantages
Through the use of C-Leg technology, the C-Leg permanently recognizes which walking phase the wearer currently is in, and adjusts itself accordingly in real time depending on the step speed, length, and frequency. On slopes, uneven surfaces, or when going down stairs – the high-quality leg prosthesis system automatically adjusts itself and therefore ensures increased dynamic response and security.
With the C-Leg, your customer achieves the best possible approximation of a natural gait pattern. Through constant stance phase dampening, the C-Leg offers a high level of security even if the users stumbles. Thanks to the low risk of falling, your customer can concentrate less on the prosthesis and more on the finer things in life. The load is distributed evenly over both legs, which provides relief for the contralateral side. In addition, the amount of energy required for walking is significantly reduced. Of course you can individually adjust the C-Leg to correspond to your customer’s needs in regards to safety, residual limb activity, and responsiveness.
