Fillauer is proud to offer the DuraShock Pylon as part of its extensive line of quality orthotic and prosthetic components.

The DuraShock Pylon is a new development in prosthetic technology. While shock/torsion reducing pylons have been available for several years, the DuraShock pylon offers several significant improvements over previous designs.

The main benefit of a shock/torsion reducing pylon is that it simulates the rotation and shock absorption of the natural limb during stance phase. All lower limb amputees benefit from shock/rotation reduction, especially transfemoral users, who require greater motion damping at heel strike since the knee and ankle are not present. Beneficial for everyday use, shock/torsion reduction is most noticeable during activities such as gardening, hiking, tennis, or golf.

Features

  • 3 different stiffness options
  • 4 configurations - Short Pylon, Long Pylon, Tube Clamp, and Shorty
  • Up to 60° of axial rotation (30° in each direction)
  • Shock absorption for increased socket comfort
  • Maintenance free design
  • Clearance as low as 3.5" (89 mm)
  • Standard 30 mm pylon or heavy duty 34 mm pylon
  • Titanium core technology

Benefits

  • Reduction of forces to residual limb
  • Requires no lubrication or bumper changes
  • Smooth motion created by the dynamic elastomer
  • May increase stride length
  • Compact design requires minimal clearance

L-Codes

  • L-5988 - Addition to lower limb prosthesis, vertical shock reducing pylon feature.
  • L-5984 - All endoskeletal lower extremity prosthesis, axial rotation unit.
