via Business Wire:

UNYQ Inc., a leader in the field of 3D-printed prosthetic wears, is 
introducing the new UNYQ FOOT, an innovative approach to making 
prosthetic feet for persons with amputations. The product is the result of 
a development collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, as 
represented by Minneapolis Adaptive Design & Engineering (MADE) 
Program at Minneapolis VA Health Care System (HCS). The UNYQ 
FOOT will be showcased at the OTWorld international trade show for 
advanced prosthetics and orthotics in Leipzig, Germany, 10-13 May 
2022.  

UNYQ FOOT is based on research conducted with US Veterans with 
amputations showing the current need for prosthetic feet that allow a 
larger selection of shoe types and improved aesthetics, especially among 
women. Based on this insight, UNYQ and MADE created a proprietary 
ankle and 3D-printed feet accommodating to different shoes, heel 
heights and improved cosmetic features. UNYQ FOOT will be available 
later in the year in a wide variety of colors and styles, and as the product 
is custom, no inventory management is needed, reducing waste and cost. 
The proprietary lightweight ankle made of aluminum and titanium  
allows the foot to adjust to different heel heights.
