To enable Life Without Limitations® we must consider the role of water in the lives of people. For many, simple daily activities such as taking a shower, watering the garden, washing the car, or walking alongside a lake can be challenging or are completely avoided.

But not anymore, because Össur has developed a portfolio of waterproof products that is constantly expanding.

Waterproof: what does it mean?


Whether it's fresh, salt, or chlorinated water, Össur's waterproof prosthetic legs and components will provide the support needed. The use of first-rate materials provides protection against harmful water ingress, even after submersion, while delivering expected functionality.

A waterproof Össur product:
- Can be used in a wet or humid environment.
- Can be submerged in up to 3 meters of water for a maximum of 1 hour*.
- Can tolerate contact with saltwater, chlorinated water, perspiration, urine, and mild soaps*.
- Can also tolerate occasional exposure to sand, dust, and dirt.
- Should not be exposed to water continuously.

To care for a waterproof Össur product:
- Dry with a cloth after contact with freshwater or excess humidity.
- Clean with freshwater after exposure to other liquids, chemicals, sand, dust or dirt and dry with a cloth.

*Proprio Foot® only allows for full immersion into 1m deep water for a period of 30 minutes and is not recommended to be uses in chlorinated water.

Important note:
For liners and sleeves it’s specifically important to check the liner suspension during use in water and dry the socket and the liner after leaving the water.
