It is important to understand what a hybrid prosthesis is. The process for producing a hybrid prosthesis is completely new technology that Aqualeg has developed. An Aqualeg hybrid prosthesis can be worn every day as your primary leg. However, unlike traditional prosthetic devices, the Aqualeg hybrid prosthesis can also be worn when you are in and around water. It can be worn in the shower, when yo
u step into a pool, swim in the ocean,or any other place where you might get wet. The innovative technology allows water to enter into the cosmetic cover and to run out through the foot and ankle area. The first step is to choose waterproof components when building a new prosthesis. Aqualeg has carefully selected and tested traditional components and feet from some of the world’s finest prosthetic manufacturers. Aqualeg believes in “functionality first” for all prosthetic devices. This led us to select very high quality parts and then test them for durability. The next step is to choose a system that has cosmetic appeal. Aqualeg has developed a lifelike hybrid
semi soft cover. This cover is truly unique since it is ideal for everyday activities AND for activities in and around water! Aqualeg covers are durable, cosmetically appealing and user friendly for both amputees and prosthetists. Every Aqualeg cover is custom manufactured using an innovative process that allows the covers to fit precisely to the socket and foot. Once the cover is received it can be fit to the prosthesis within minutes so that the amputee can immediately begin enjoying the benefits that are only available with a cover that includes that special Aqualeg touch.
