Improving the fit of your prosthesis can give you greater freedom through more confidence and improved limb health.
There is no better solution to outstanding fit than the Harmony® Vacuum Management System. The innovative Harmony pumps pull air out of your socket for a secure, intimate fit from the time you put your prosthesis on in the morning until you’re ready to take it off at night. When your prosthesis is securely in place, you have a better sense of where your leg is in space (proprioception), allowing you more freedom to move without wondering if your leg will slip or slide.
The Harmony System can even relieve problems with fluctuating limb volume. Some studies show that the Harmony System improves circulation*, thereby helping to maintain the size of your residual limb throughout the day. This relieves you of the burden to add socks to maintain socket fit.
Another problem that can arise from poor fit is pain from having your limb rubbing against the inside of your socket. If your limb size remains constant, it won’t slip, slide or rub against your socket, which can result in painful sores.

| Types of Harmony Pumps |
| You can select from either a battery-operated electronic Harmony pump, or a mechanical pump that is incorporated into the prosthesis between your socket and prosthetic foot. The version that’s right for you will depend upon how much you weigh, the space available below your socket and your personal preference. |
| Liners |
| The type of liner that works best for you will be determined by the condition of your residual limb, your activity level, and the type of suspension you use. |
