MARKETPLACE Ottobock Dynamic Vacuum System (DVS) The Dynamic Vacuum System (DVS) bridges the gap between valve and Harmony socket technology. Integrating innovative design with simplicity, the DVS reduces the movement between the limb and socket associated with limb volume fluctuations. The DVS generates vacuum during walking and maintains this elevated vacuum in both swing and stance phase. This sets it apart from passive systems, such as valve, where a vacuum is only generated in the swing phase. Increased suspension forces and intimate fit enhances the user’s perception of the ground beneath them. Dynamically, it adjusts to the user’s activity level.

Catalyst•Propel OA Now Available in Custom
Designed to reduce the pain of knee osteoarthritis, and increase stability by reducing pressure, the Catalyst•Propel OA’s defining feature is its dual Q-hinges, which provide the ability to change the overall valgus/varus angle of the brace for optimal correction leverage. In addition, the Catalyst•Propel OA’s patented Active Thigh Cuff (ATC) reduces migration and enables a more custom fit in a mechanically adaptable system that moves with the thigh musculature through the full range of motion. Catalyst•Propel OA is now available in a custom brace, orderable through the easy-to-use eCast app. For more information, call 800/652-1135 or visit www.vqorthocare.com.
