New Colour Option

Many updates to our signature C-Leg Microprocessor Knee are based on feedback we received directly from C-Leg wearers. That’s why the C-Leg 4 is available in the original lighter Desert Pearl color as well as a new darker shade, Midnight Shadow, which is a deep gun metal grey colour. The Volcano Shadow colour is no longer available.
