The META Family is a groundbreaking line of prosthetic feet designed to offer an unparalleled combination of natural movement, flexibility, and energy return. Created to address the varying needs of prosthetic users, the META Family offers six distinct foot models—each with its own advanced features that make walking, running, and daily activities more efficient, comfortable, and safe.

Family Spotlight

META Core: The Foundation of the Family

The META Core is the baseline for the META Family. It introduces a unique unibody design, ensuring superior durability and comfort. Designed to offer stability, it is perfect for users who need a reliable prosthetic foot that provides reliable performance without unnecessary complexity. The META Core remains a solid choice for many patients due to its proven effectiveness and straightforward design.

META Arc: Adaptability and Comfort

The META Arc brings innovation to the family with its ability to provide inversion and eversion, imitating natural ankle movement. This foot’s flexibility ensures that it adapts to a wide range of surfaces, helping the user maintain balance and control. Particularly beneficial for those who navigate uneven terrain, the META Arc can handle the dynamic demands of everyday walking while offering a solid ankle feel. It’s an ideal fit for patients with the ability to activate their abductor and adductor muscles, relieving socket pressure and providing natural ankle movement through its biomimetic design.

META Flow: The Cutting-Edge Solution

The META Flow is the most advanced option in the family. Featuring active dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, it provides an adjustable level of natural foot movement. By combining these movements with high energy return, the META Flow helps propel users forward efficiently with minimal effort. With industry-leading energy efficiency, the META Flow helps propel users forward, providing power back into the gait rather than dampening energy, all while reducing the chance of falls by improving ground clearance through its active dorsiflexion. Patients report significant improvements in gait, making it ideal for users who want a responsive, adjustable prosthetic foot that will help them power through slopes.

The META Family’s Benefits

All feet within the META Family are built around a unibody design, which enhances durability and contributes to the foot’s overall lightness. This design ensures that every foot in the family offers the following benefits:

• Energy return: All models help users move forward with ease.
• Specialized solutions: All models are catered directly to user needs, from natural ankle movement to responsive shock absorption with torsion.
• Waterproof & Corrosion Resistant: All models are waterproof in fresh and salt water.
• Durability and ease of use: A long-lasting choice for active patients.
• PDAC Approval: All models are PDAC Approved

Trial Periods for Patient Comfort

To ensure patients receive the best fit for their needs, each foot in the META Family comes with a 60-day trial period. This allows practitioners to assess how the prosthetic foot performs in real-life conditions, with a no-commitment option to return the product if it doesn’t meet the patient’s expectations. This trial period is especially valuable for patients transitioning to more dynamic feet, like the META Arc or META Flow, as it allows them to fully experience the foot’s range of motion and functionality in a controlled environment.

The META Family’s Impact on Prosthetic Design

The META Family represents a significant leap forward in prosthetic technology. With their ability to offer dynamic motion, energy return, and customizable adjustments, the META Family is built and improved using customer feedback to provide an unparalleled level of functionality, reliability, and independence to users.
