A mobile application is currently under development. It will allow users to track the data collected by the prostheses in the form of statistics and participate in challenges among users of Axiles Bionics products. Stay tuned for more information on this.
To order a Lunaris prosthesis, you first need to make an appointment with your prosthetist. They will work with you to assess your needs and ensure that the Lunaris prosthesis is suitable for your situation.
If you wish, you can also send us your contact information and that of your prosthetist so that we can contact them and assist them in the process.
We are here to help you access the best possible prosthesis and support you throughout the process.
Most carbon feet combine stacked blades to provide stability and flexibility, but this compromises patients as it is impossible to achieve both aspects simultaneously.
The Lunaris eliminates this compromise by completely separating the structural and flexibility components, allowing each component to be optimised for its specific function, which explains its superior performance compared to other available prostheses.
The key difference of the Lunaris lies in its revolutionary ankle interface design. Unlike traditional carbon or fiberglass prostheses that lack comfort and range of motion, this Axiles Bionics prosthesis provides a highly dynamic and comfortable experience through an anatomical ankle joint incorporating an elastic tendon similar to that of the human body.
This feature allows unprecedented flexibility and a natural range of motion, combining comfort and dynamism for an active lifestyle. With its advanced technology, smart connectivity, and services, the Lunaris stands out as a truly unique prosthesis.
The Lunaris has been specifically designed for individuals with lower limb absence, whether due to amputation or congenital disability.
It is suitable for unilateral or bilateral transtibial or transfemoral amputations or deficiencies, as well as knee or hip disarticulations and osseointegration.
The user weight should be between 45 and 110 kg, and feet of different lengths are available in a range of 24 to 30 cm.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact your healthcare professional or Axiles Bionics.
The cost of a Lunaris prosthesis can vary based on various factors such as geographical region, customization options, and specific patient requirements. Therefore, we recommend that patients contact their prosthetist to obtain an accurate cost estimate for their Lunaris prosthesis.
Prosthetists can also contact Axiles Bionics for additional information if needed.
It is advisable to check with your country's social security organization to determine whether the Lunaris prosthesis is covered or not.
Reimbursement rules and amounts vary depending on countries and their healthcare policies.
In Belgium, for example, INAMI partially covers the costs of purchasing prosthetic feet every 3 years, but it is important to inquire about eligibility criteria and exact reimbursement amounts.
For more information, please contact your healthcare professional.
If you are covered by accident insurance or third-party liability insurance, it is possible that the entire cost of the Axiles Bionics prosthesis will be covered. To benefit from this coverage, you will need to prepare a file with your rehabilitation doctor and prosthetist to demonstrate that the Axiles Bionics prosthesis is the most suitable one for you.
So far, all users who have requested reimbursement for the Axiles Bionics prosthesis from their insurance have been able to benefit from it.
Yes, the Lunaris is compatible with most other prosthetic devices such as knee units for individuals with transfemoral amputations.
For additional information on compatibility, please contact us or consult your healthcare professional.
It is possible to customize the ankle stiffness by selecting from different spring categories. The choice of category depends on the device size, user's body weight, desired stiffness based on usage impact. The cosmetic covers (foot cover) are also available in different colors to meet users' aesthetic preferences.
While the Lunaris is capable of providing a comfortable and natural walking experience for daily activities, it is important to note that it is not designed for intensive use or high-impact sports. Using the prosthesis for activities like running or basketball can generate high forces that could potentially damage the prosthesis or pose a risk to the user. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the provided instructions for use.
The Lunaris has an IP54 rating, which protects it against dust and splashes of fresh water. However, it is not designed to be immersed and should not be used during showering or swimming. It is crucial to avoid contact with saltwater or chlorinated water as it could lead to corrosion. In case of accidental exposure to water, it is recommended to immediately clean the prosthesis with a damp cloth. Additionally, it is important to thoroughly dry the ankle-foot prosthesis after any contact with water. Please note that an update is underway to make the prosthesis water-resistant.
The Lunaris prosthesis is equipped with 14 sensors that collect real-time data on its usage.
To enable predictive maintenance and optimize engineering, this data needs to be transferred to our secure cloud server during the prosthesis recharge. Regular recharging is therefore essential to ensure the reliability of the prosthesis and maintain your warranty.However, it is important to emphasize that this artificial limb is not dependent on these electronic components.
Thus, whether the foot battery is full or empty, it will not affect its functionality. You can be reassured that your Lunaris will continue to provide you with solid support and consistent performance, regardless of the battery charge level.

The LED indicators on your LUNARIS indicate the device's operating status:
In case of an error, the LED indicator will blink red, which can indicate two things:
The Lunaris is a Class I medical device and complies to the European Regulation 2017/745.
The Lunaris has been tested by independent accredited laboratories and complies with the following standards:: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 62133, and IEC 10328.
The LUNARIS has also been tested according to the ISO 10328 standard for 2 million load cycles, with an expected lifespan of 2 to 3 years under normal usage conditions.
Refer to the comprehensive connection instructions in the Instruction for Use (IFU), specifically in the "Setting up the IO CHARGER" section.
The LED indicators on your IO Charger indicate the device's operating status:
In case of an error, the LED indicator will blink red :
To activate or deactivate the LED indicator, just press the button on the smart charger, and it will retain your chosen lighting setting.
The IO Charger is a small, lightweight, and easy-to-carry charger. To connect it to a new Wi-Fi network, reset it by holding down the button for 20 seconds and then follow the connection procedure again.
The Lunaris operates independently of the IO Charger, so during short vacation stays, you are not obligated to connect it to the charger. However, you will lose the benefits of connecting to the charger.
Healthcare professionals can contact us directly to place an order for an Axiles Bionics prosthesis for their patient via:
To adjust the Lunaris prosthesis, it is recommended to follow the following instructions:
For bench alignment, adjust the prosthesis in the user's shoe and ensure it is perpendicular to the bench by adjusting its anterior/posterior and medial/lateral position at the Lunaris pyramid adapter.
For dynamic alignment, adjust the anterior/posterior position at the socket or knee prosthesis to adjust knee flexion and extension, and adjust the medial/lateral position so that the weight line passes through the ankle joint. Observe the user's gait to adjust the anterior/posterior position of the prosthesis to achieve as natural a walking motion as possible.
When removing or applying the cosmetic cover, the user should not wear the ankle-foot prosthesis to avoid the risk of tripping. Use a shoe horn to remove and put on the cosmetic cover to avoid damaging the prosthesis and its cosmetic cover.
When putting on the cosmetic cover, pull the Spectra sock over the prosthesis up to the ankle joint and ensure that the prosthesis is fully placed inside the cosmetic cover.
We offer training for healthcare professionals on the Lunaris prosthesis and its usage. These trainings can be tailored to the specific needs of each healthcare professional.
