After depleting our inventory and attempting to re-order I've learned
the Foresee has quit producing all prosthetic components. I was fond
of using their Pyramid Plus system for preparatory fittings since it
provided both slide and angular adjustment over a reasonably large
range of adjustment while still remaining compact and without any
sharp edges. I'd like to ask what components others folks are using
that offer similar features. I do not want to use any of the
dovetailed slide adapters because of the risk of injury to the
amputee's contralateral limb.
If anyone has an unused Pyramid plus kit they want to sell I'd be
interested in taking it off your hands. I only use the socket
connector, not the pylon or the ankle unit.
