PROTEOR Expands Prosthetic Foot Portfolio with Two New Additions

DIJON, France, Nov. 3, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- PROTEOR, a global provider of prosthetic and orthotic solutions, has announced the global introduction of two distinct additions to its lower-limb prosthetic portfolio, expanding mobility options for clinicians and individuals across international markets. The new additions are EXONEO CORE, a biomimetic prosthetic foot designed specifically for K2 ambulators, and HOPPER OUTSIDER, a versatile prosthetic foot designed to bridge everyday walking and dynamic activity.

EXONEO CORE, a biomimetic prosthetic foot, addresses the everyday challenges of stability and comfort for individuals classified as K2 ambulators. The release states that finding the right balance between stability and comfort can be challenging for this group, as a prosthetic foot designed for greater comfort may compromise stability, and vice versa. PROTEOR's EXONEO CORE was developed specifically to address this challenge, combining plantar springs that absorb vertical loads and adapt to uneven terrain with a design that maintains ground contact through toe-off. The release notes that natural toe extension of up to 20 degrees supports stability through the final phase of each step, while the low-profile construction provides additional fitting versatility.

EXONEO CORE strengthens PROTEOR's K2 portfolio by offering a solution designed around the functional needs of community ambulators. The release states that rather than adapting a higher-activity foot for lower-mobility applications, EXONEO CORE takes a purpose-built approach to K2 mobility, prioritizing stability, comfort, and confidence in everyday movement. The result is a meaningful new option for clinicians working with individuals whose independence depends on feeling secure and comfortable throughout their daily activities.

HOPPER OUTSIDER, on the other hand, is designed for active individuals who require greater versatility between daily activities and sport. The release states that for active individuals, the distinction between everyday prosthetic feet and dedicated sport blades has traditionally required choices and compromises. HOPPER OUTSIDER challenges this convention by combining the dynamic responsiveness of a sport-inspired blade with the versatility needed for everyday walking. The release notes that the continuous InfiniFoam pad in HOPPER OUTSIDER supports fluid rollover and compatibility with everyday footwear, allowing users to transition between walking and more dynamic activities without necessarily changing prosthetic feet. The addition of HOPPER OUTSIDER also reflects the value of PROTEOR's partnership with HOPPER, bringing a performance-oriented design philosophy into the broader prosthetic foot portfolio. The release states that the addition of HOPPER OUTSIDER also incorporates upcycled carbon fiber and new approaches to foot-shell construction, demonstrating how performance-focused development can also embrace responsible material choices.

Both EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER demonstrate PROTEOR's commitment to expanding mobility options through both purposeful product development and strategic partnerships. EXONEO CORE strengthens the company's K2 offering by addressing the everyday challenges of stability and comfort, while HOPPER OUTSIDER expands possibilities for active users seeking greater versatility between daily activities and sport. The release quotes Eric Ferris, Vice President of Global Marketing & Product Management, who states that PROTEOR's approach is to build a portfolio around the patient's life, not simply around a catalogue. The result is a meaningful new option for clinicians and individuals who seek to pursue mobility on their own terms.

PROTEOR's portfolio now includes EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER, two distinct additions that reflect the company's commitment to providing clinicians with meaningful choices and helping individuals pursue mobility on their own terms. The company's HumanFirst philosophy guides its product development, ensuring that solutions are designed around individual needs, mobility goals, and everyday life. PROTEOR's partnership with HOPPER has brought a performance-oriented design philosophy into the broader prosthetic foot portfolio, and the company's commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of upcycled carbon fiber and new approaches to foot-shell construction.
