Meracus® is an energy-storing, dynamic-response prosthetic foot made entirely from advanced composite materials. Designed for a seamless gait experience, this prosthesis features a pyramid adapter, a J-shaped keel, and an extended heel lever, all crafted to simulate the natural movement of an anatomical foot.
Meracus provides exceptional shock absorption during heel strike, ensuring a smooth transition to a stable stance phase. The dynamic-response design facilitates an effortless roll-off of the forefoot and an efficient energy release during push-off, mimicking the natural gait.
Constructed from 100% composite materials, Meracus is made with a unique composition of carbon, fiberglass and resin – making it a one-of-a-kind prosthetic foot. The heel and keel are joined using Allard's patent-pending composite rivets, eliminating metal fasteners for improved flexibility and strength. This innovative technology assists with removing “Dead spots” in the user’s gait, offering a seamless walking experience.
