1. COMPONENTS INCLUDED
2. DESCRIPTION, PROPERTIES AND MECHANISM OF ACTION
A. Description
A prosthetic foot designed to allow older adult patients to perform their everyday
activities, consisting of:
•
A core and foot shell which cannot be disassembled
•
A malleolar clip
The hole in the lower face of the foot is used to identify the location of the gap
between the big toe and the other toes, so that a separation can be made if required
to allow sandal-type footwear to be worn.
To make the cut, use a band saw to saw through to the hole and open up the cut as required.
B. Properties
3. INTENDED USERS/INDICATIONS
This medical device is supplied to healthcare professionals (prosthetists/orthotists) who then instruct the patient in how to use it. The
prescription is drawn up by a doctor. The doctor works with a prosthetist/orthotist to assess whether the patient is suited to using the
device.
This device should be used on ONE PATIENT ONLY. It must not be reused on other patients.
CAUTION: the GERY foot is not suitable for bilateral use by double amputees
4. CLINICAL BENEFITS
The device provides optimal comfort for below-knee and above-knee amputees when they perform their everyday activities.
5. ACCESSORIES AND COMPATIBILITIES

The heel height can be adjusted from 0 to 20 mm.
6. ASSEMBLY AND FITTING TO THE PATIENT
A. Assembly and Aligning
Assemble in the normal way, checking that the load line passes 5 to 15 mm in front of the axis of the pyramid and provides a stable
