PROTEOR Expands Prosthetic Foot Portfolio with the launch of EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER

Two Products. Two Clear Stories. One HumanFirst Commitment to Mobility Designed Around Life.

DIJON, France, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PROTEOR announces the global introduction of two distinct additions to its lower-limb prosthetic portfolio, expanding mobility options for clinicians and individuals across international markets: EXONEO CORE, a biomimetic prosthetic foot developed specifically for K2 ambulators, and HOPPER OUTSIDER, a versatile prosthetic foot designed to bridge everyday walking and dynamic activity.

While each addresses a different set of mobility needs, both reflect a shared philosophy: prosthetic solutions should be designed around the lives people want to lead, rather than requiring individuals to adapt their lifestyles to their prosthetic technology.

EXONEO CORE: Nature is the True Engineer - Rethinking Stability and Comfort for K2 Mobility.

For individuals classified as K2 ambulators, finding the right balance between stability and comfort can present a challenge. A prosthetic foot designed for greater comfort may compromise the feeling of stability, while a more stable design can feel rigid and restrictive.

EXONEO CORE was developed specifically to address this challenge, strengthening PROTEOR's K2 portfolio with a solution designed around the functional needs of community ambulators.

It's biomimetic architecture that combines plantar springs that absorb vertical loads and adapt to uneven terrain with a design that maintains ground contact through toe-off. Natural toe extension of up to 20 degrees supports stability through the final phase of each step, while the low-profile construction provides additional fitting versatility.

Rather than adapting a higher-activity foot for lower-mobility applications, EXONEO CORE takes a purpose-built approach to K2 mobility, prioritizing stability, comfort, and confidence in everyday movement.

The result is a meaningful new option for clinicians working with individuals whose independence depends on feeling secure and comfortable throughout their daily activities.

HOPPER OUTSIDER: Best of Both Worlds - One Foot. More Ways to Move.

For active individuals, the distinction between everyday prosthetic feet and dedicated sport blades has traditionally required choices and compromises.

HOPPER OUTSIDER challenges that convention by combining the dynamic responsiveness of a sport inspired blade with the versatility needed for everyday walking.

Developed by HOPPER, OUTSIDER features a continuous InfiniFoam pad designed to support fluid rollover and compatibility with everyday footwear. Its construction allows users to transition between walking and more dynamic activities without necessarily changing prosthetic feet.

From walking to the park to running with family or participating in recreational activities, OUTSIDER is designed to accommodate a broader range of movement within a single solution.

The addition also reflects the value of PROTEOR's partnership with HOPPER, bringing a performance oriented design philosophy into the broader prosthetic foot portfolio.

Beyond its functional design, OUTSIDER incorporates upcycled carbon fiber and new approaches to foot-shell construction, demonstrating how performance focused development can also embrace responsible material choices.

Two Different Approaches. One Shared Purpose.

Together, EXONEO CORE and HOPPER OUTSIDER demonstrate PROTEOR's commitment to expanding mobility options through both purposeful product development and strategic partnerships.

EXONEO CORE strengthens the company's K2 offering by addressing the everyday challenges of stability and comfort. OUTSIDER expands possibilities for active users seeking greater versatility between daily activities and sport.

"At PROTEOR, we're building a portfolio around the patient's life, not simply around a catalogue," said Eric Ferris, Vice President, Global Marketing & Product Management. "EXONEO CORE addresses the needs of K2 ambulators who want to feel secure and comfortable with every step. HOPPER OUTSIDER offers a different kind of freedom, allowing active individuals to move between everyday life and more dynamic activities. The approaches are different, but the principle is the same: design around the person."

Both introductions reinforce PROTEOR's HumanFirst commitment to providing clinicians with meaningful choices and helping individuals pursue mobility on their own terms.

Two products. Two clear stories. One commitment to helping people move through life with greater freedom.
