The Proteor Quattro is an advanced microprocessor knee designed to enhance freedom and adaptability for transfemoral amputees. Engineered with safety, personalization, and resilience in mind, it enables fluid transitions across daily activities with minimal interruptions.

2) How the Quattro Works (Sensors & H.A.R.T. Control)

At its core is the patented H.A.R.T. (Hyper Active Real-Time) Control Technology, which enables infinite resistance adjustments for seamless gait transitions. It uses three hyper-responsive sensors to modulate hydraulic resistance dynamically, offering real-time stumble recovery and terrain adaptation.

  • Battery: 2–3 days of life plus booster option for 4-day use

  • Waterproof Rating: IP67, allowing full submersion up to 1m for 30 minutes

  • Build Height: 8.5 in (216 mm) — one of the lowest MPKs available

  • Weight: Approx. 3.65 lbs (1,655 g)

  • User Capacity: Supports up to 300 lbs (136 kg) and functional K2–K4 levels

5) Durability, Waterproofing & Maintenance

The IP67 waterproof rating ensures resilience during accidental immersions, while a booster battery reduces downtime. The Quattro’s low build height broadens ankle/foot compatibility, and field-replaceable knee caps allow for quick onsite repairs. Firmware updates can be delivered remotely, simplifying maintenance.

6) Warranty & Service Options

The knee includes a 3-year standard warranty, extendable up to 6 years with service packages (depending on funder). Service intervals are minimal, with the first not required until 36 months. A loaner unit is provided during service to ensure uninterrupted use.
