The NEURO LOCK H2O system knee joint is a locked joint which is dirt- and water-resistant thanks to its robust, carbon fibre-reinforced joint case. It provides motion control and is preassembled in a physiological joint angle of 5°. It can be unlocked via a lock lever. With this lock lever and the use of a fixing pawl, the system joint can be permanently unlocked.
Furthermore, the NEURO LOCK H2O system knee joint can be functionally converted into a NEURO CLASSIC H2O system knee joint by removing the locking pawl, the spring guide and the pressure spring.

The orthotist can either mount the lever extension included in the scope of delivery or use a pulling cable which is available as an accessory part. Special feature: The NEURO LOCK H2O system knee joint can also be used as a main joint with complete load capacity in a unilateral orthosis.
