Good Morning List,

 

I researched and saw several past questions where folks have asked about
this, but haven't seen any replies.

 

Do any of you know of a prosthetic knee that is weighted to 450-500lbs?
If not, what is the highest weight rating you've seen? I can find feet
and other components to 500, but no knees.

 

Thank you!
