4 bar knee-30degree stop

Text:

Dear Colleages,

I have a patient that I want to use a 4-bar knee on. I am also concerned
with safety. I believe DAW distributes a 4-Bar knee (TEH-LIN?) which stops
flexion at 30 degrees and then can unlock to full flexion at sitting. Other
than expense, it seems like a good alternative to the weight activated stance
control knee, if 4 bar geometry is desired.

Can anyone give me experienced feedback on the use of this interesting knee?
