To Whom It May Concern:
I'm was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions on a knee that could handle a 340lb TFA patient. The patient is currently a K1 ambulator, but has K2 potential. Unfortunately, I'm unsure of the kind of loads the patient will be carrying. The closest I've been able to come is an Otto Bock knee kit rated for patients up to 330lb.
Thank you,
