Thanks to everyone that responded to my original post about the Niagara Foot. I was asked to share the responses with the list. Thanks to Paul for this wonderful resource...
We've used the Niagara foot many times for our Amphibian legs, and are also the US distributor for it. It's been really well received by clinicians and patients as secondary legs in the US. In developing world cases, it has the benefits you outlined, but also the amazing fact that it's a single size foot that can be tuned in length to meet patient needs. So every foot gets used.
The manufacturer also wants to make sure developing countries get it at discounted rates, so we have special pricing there.
