Dynamic Strut

The Dynamic Strut is (10.5" x 1.25")

Coyote Resilergy™️

Coyote Resilergy™️ is a composite material, allowing for even more range of motion while still providing the same support as the Original Strut AFO.

There are also lower weight ranges for the Resilergy™️ due to its less rigid characteristics. 

Using ProComp® in Dynamic AFOs

Coyote typically makes our dynamic strut AFOs using Curbell Plastics ProComp®. This material gives us extra dynamic response in the toe while maintaining adjustability.
Exclusive ProComp® Carbon Reinforced Polypropylene

The Strut Kit Includes

Purchase struts and tooling from Coyote, then fabricate in your own facility OR alternatively, we can make the entire custom brace for you in our Central Fabrication Lab.
