Meracus is designed to be adaptable to most lower extremity prosthetic components and is appropriate for all levels of amputation provided that there is the required space for the Meracus and foot cover. See selection chart for the specific build height for each size.

The Meracus (patent pending) design is pure composite from the J shaped keel to the composite rivets that join heel plate to the keel. Meracus is a unique blend of two composite materials, carbon fiber and fiberglass. These two composite materials are combined in a way that maximizes function, ensures consistent performance, and durability.

Meracus is a Dynamic Response prosthetic foot. The key features include: excellent shock absorption and energy return, outstanding flexibility, fluid motion from heel to toe and great adaptability to any terrain.

The Meracus foot has superior multiaxial function thanks to it split keel design that is coupled to a dynamic shaped heel/toe plate that is split from heel to toe. Our design considerations enhance adaptability of the foot:

• Roller shape: Facilitates easy adaptation to various environments, providing excellent stability on flat surfaces, inclines, and uneven ground.
• Extended heel: By providing and enhancing the stable base provided by the foot, the extended heel adds versatility for various walking speeds and activities.
• J-shape keel: Improves shock absorption and energy return throughout the gait cycle. 
• Full split heel/keel: The split heel and keel provide excellent multiaxial function allowing the foot to act in a way that mimics the natural movement of a human foot. 
• The pyramid attachment: Allows Meracus to be connected via standard pyramid components and offers a full range of adjustability in both M/L and A/P directions.

Meracus, like other prosthetic feet, is fit and aligned by a qualified prosthetic clinician. With its low build height and flexibility, Meracus is designed to be adaptable to most lower extremity prosthetic components. Like other dynamic response feet, proper foot category selection along with bench and dynamic alignment are key to unlocking the full potential of the Meracus foot.
