1.1 Construction and Function

The ProCarve is a sport prosthesis solution for skiing, snowboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding or other sports
with similar motions. The sport prosthesis solution comprises the 3R2 prosthetic knee joint and the 1E2 or 1E2=1
prosthetic foot. The prosthetic foot can also be used by itself for a TT sport prosthesis.
The prosthetic knee joint and the prosthetic foot feature adjustable shock absorbers. The function of the shock
absorbers is to absorb impacts that occur when performing a sport. During flexion a pneumatic spring provides the
necessary resistance, whilst hydraulics damp movements in extension. The hardness of the pneumatic spring is
adjusted using a high-pressure air pump; the extension damping strength is controlled by a hydraulic valve. This
enables the best settings for the chosen sport.
The 1E2=1 prosthetic foot is equipped with a polymer ring, which increases the flexion resistance further. This is
practical mainly for TT fittings.
The prosthetic knee joint can be unlocked in order to make sitting down more comfortable.

1.2 Combination possibilities

This prosthetic component is compatible with Ottobock's system of modular connectors. Functionality with com­
ponents of other manufacturers that have compatible modular connectors has not been tested.
