The

and then after four hours, and visibility through
the film is given a rating from A (zero visibility due

THE CHALLENGE
Nearly 110 years after it was founded, WillowWood
continues to fulfill its mission to free the bodies and
spirits of amputees.
After extensive testing, including mechanical testing to
ISO 10328 standards and a six-month participant clinical
trial, WillowWood introduced DuraWalk™, their most
advanced low-activity foot.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/trilliant-case-study-1.pdf
After fully understanding all of the requirements,
Avient’s technology team began to formulate an easy-
to-mold, durable and aesthetically pleasing specialty
polymer that provided processing flexibility and
wouldn’t require retooling.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments.
