Here’s how Carl Stahl Sava Industries described its contribution to Unlimited Tomorrow (Rhinebeck, N.Y.):
“The mechanical cables that facilitate TrueLimb’s movement comprise 7×49, stainless steel wire rope, that is .032 in. in diameter and coated with nylon to a diameter of .037 in. The motion control systems in TrueLimb afford the prosthetic limb years of tremendous flexibility and continuous operation. The combination of the cable’s 100 lbs. tensile strength, extensive cycle counts and broad bending radii, means TrueLimb can live an extensive, uninterrupted life, ensuring wearers unlimited use for decades.”
Said Unlimited Tomorrow CEO Easton LaChappelle: “We strive for quality in all of our components. When we encounter a challenge, we turned to experts likes Sava to help us produce the perfect mechanical cable assemblies to help power TrueLimb’s elegant tendon system.”
