Fitting advice:
VTF springs are designed to work together with the heel and toe springs of the Elite
Blade to give smooth progression for most users.
The axial spring controls both compressive and torsional resilience. Typical axial
movement should be between 3-6mm for normal walking. Alternative stiffness springs
are available if required.
The VTF is designed to be interchangeable with existing Elite Blade Top Housings that
have been fitted with the shifting Female Pyramid option (Part No. 539602). No further
length adjustment should be necessary.
For additional fitting advice see Elite Blade Instructions for Use (Part No. 938295).
