Tectus - BLATCHFORD

Walk fluidly, walk safely, and walk all day using Tectus®.

Tectus® is a slim, lightweight microprocessor-controlled orthosis*. Using our proven, world-renowned microprocessor prosthetic technology, we have created Tectus®, a lifechanging intelligent orthotic that allows people with impaired mobility, due to partial paralysis in their lower limbs, to walk again. Instead of a locked knee brace, cane or wheelchair, this system provides the freedom to participate in regular daily activities.
