RidgeFlex Ankle Joint strikes a perfect balance between flexibility and sturdiness, thanks to Prepalon, a unique material blend of continuous fibre and elastomer. This blend combines the strength of fibers with the flexibility of elastomer, preventing tearing and maintaining structural integrity. Unlike traditional methods, this technology doesn't rely on strings, which lack rotational or forward-backward support. Instead, it introduces a tendon design that ensures smooth movement while offering necessary support and rotational control. By blending flexible elastomer with continuous fiber for rigidity, it achieves both smooth movement and solid support without sacrificing tear strength. This approach avoids using denser elastomers for more support, which can weaken tear strength and compromise joint integrity.

RidgeFlex Ankle Joint uses a material called Prepalon to find the perfect balance between flexibility and strength. Prepalon® blends continuous fibres with elastomer, creating a strong yet flexible technology (CFET). This blend prevents tearing and stretching, ensuring durability. Unlike traditional joints using strings, our technology supports rotation and movement in all directions. Our unique tendon design ensures smooth movement while providing support and control. By combining flexible elastomer with solid fibres, we achieve a balance of smoothness and support without sacrificing tear strength. This means our joint maintains its structural integrity for longer, without needing denser elastomers that could weaken it.
