PROTEOR Launches ETHOS™ LP…Low Profile in High Gear

TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PROTEOR today announced the official launch of the ETHOS LP, a dynamic and durable foot that pushes beyond the expected, setting a new standard for strength and ability in low-profile solutions. The foot will be available in the US on October 20^th and will be launched globally in 2026.

ETHOS LP addresses the historical shortcomings of low-profile feet to support everyday movement and comfort. It features a three-layer composite technology called FusionFlex, which is engineered with a fiberglass core for increased durability and outer layers of carbon fiber for increased energy return. The low-profile foot also features a multiaxial rotation plate composed of a proprietary rubber blend, which allows axial rotation, inversion, eversion, and separation of the heel and keel.

"When we looked at the low-profile market and heard what patients and clinicians have experienced over the years, we saw a real opportunity," said Eric Ferris, Vice President of Global Marketing & Product Management, PROTEOR. "The ETHOS LP addresses those challenges head-on with a design that prioritizes innovative solutions for people who want to increase their independence and well-being."

"I've been very surprised and very pleased with this foot, the amount of flexibility it has…it's such a breath of fresh air to have this foot and be able to trust it in terms of the design. The carbon fiber and the fiberglass into the heel and keel gives me a sense of confidence in the foot that it's not going to delaminate over time, that I can do everything I want to do and not be held back by a stiff toe lever when it comes to going uphill or going upstairs or carrying weight or going to the gym", said Tim B., CP/LP.

Additional Key Features and Benefits of the ETHOS LP include:

• ± 8° of axial rotation
• ± 16.5° of inversion and eversion
• No Bolts: Eliminates dead spots
• Half rocker sole plate: Provides constant contact with the ground for a smooth rollover and superior ground compliance
• Split keel and heel: Adapts to uneven terrain, slopes, and objects on the ground
• Heel bumper: Provides shock absorption at heel strike while offering high energy return
• Available in elevated vacuum (ETHOS LP EVAQ8)
