1– Indications
1A200 GERY foot is designed exclusively for lower limb prosthesis. It is appropriate for low activity patients (L1) weighing
(carried load included) less than 220lbs (100kg) for sizes 22 to 27 cm, and less than 275lbs (125kg) for sizes 28 and 29 cm. The
Gery Foot can accomodate a heel height of 0-20mm.
CAUTION : - Bilateral use of 1A200 GERY feet is not appropriate to fit double amputees
- 1A200 GERY foot is contraindicated for patients weighing more than 275lbs (125kg).
2- Description and functions
1A200 GERY foot includes two main components that should not be
separated : the core and the cosmetic structure. It also includes a malleolar clip
used to link the cosmetic foam to the foot.
The core is not glued inside the cosmetic structure, the coupling is made
by a filling resin which reinforce the parts' cohesion. Therefore it is normal to
see a gap between the filling resin and the cosmetic structure.
The cosmetic structure is a closed cell EVA foam that does not react to
moisture and UV rays. The combination of the foam structure and the flexible
keel allows the foot to smoothly rollover to the toe which lessens socket
stresses and increases the patient's comfort.
The hole at the base of the great toe enables the Gery Foot to be
modified into a split toe and used with sandals. Using a band saw, cut between
the first and second toe in a straight line to the hole. Widen the cut as needed.
3– Assembling and alignment
Using standard and necessary components for socket configuration, align the foot
so that it falls 0-10mm anterior of pyramid.
4– Dynamic adjustment
According to your patient's comments and what you notice, dynamically align to
provide optimum walking conditions for the patient.
5– Installation of the malleolar clip
Cut the cosmetic foam to the desired length, position it on the foot and draw the
malleolus contour.
Inside the foam, mill a space that will receive the selected connector, and at the
same time take care that thickness be sufficient to allow for sticking.
Clean contact surfaces and glue the malleolar clip to the foam with XC090
neoprene adhesive.
After drying, finish the outer shape as usual.
6- Maintenance
Zero maintenance.
Clean the cosmetic structure with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.
7– Recycling
If possible, remove the core from the cosmetic structure, then separate the plastic part of the core from the metal part
(pyramid and sphere).
The cosmetic structure and the metal part of the core are specific wastes. The metal part is made of stainless steel. These
parts must be recycled in compliance with the laws in force.
