Limitations On Use - Blatchford Multiflex Standard Instructions D'utilisation

3 Function
The Multiflex foot combines with a resilient multi-axial Multiflex ankle to give a smooth, stable
walking action and allow some compliance to uneven surfaces. The Multiflex foot comprises
a lightweight, fiber reinforced thermoplastic keel which gives a gentle rolling action through
stance and features a sandal toe for a more natural appearance — ideal for lower level activity
users. A range of heel heights can be accommodated via the serrated ankle interface. Multiflex
Slim features additional heel height capacity for a higher heel.
