Total Knee ® 2000
Responsive and secure - the ideal prosthetic knee for general walking and the workplaceTotal Knee 2000 imitates true knee motion with its natural and fluid movement. An ingenious concept, it is based on a simple, polycentric design. A geometric lock makes it virtually impossible to collapse when in full extension during heel load.
Total Knee offers effortless movement, requiring less energy expenditure than many other prosthetic knees.
