`What you need to know
`
`The Harmony solution
`
`Do you have a problem with your prosthesis? We’ve got the solution!
`
`Is your prosthesis ever uncomfortable? Does your socket seem to get looser over the course of the day? Does your leg
`feel poorly ‘connected’ to your prosthesis?
`
`These issues can come from volume changes in the socket and—just like a shoe that’s the wrong size—can lead to
`painful skin problems that limit your activities.
`
`The style of socket can make things worse for some users. Conventional Specific Weight Bearing Sockets can cause
`fluid loss by forcing fluids out of the limb during walking, while simultaneously reducing the surface area that distributes
`pressures.
`
`To make up for the changes in limb volume, many users add socks to their residual limb during the day—but this doesn’t
`get to the root of the problem: the loss of fluid and volume fluctuations.
`
`Otto Bock Exhibit 2014 Page 2
`
`
`
`A Specific Weight Bearing Socket can force fluids out of the limb, changing the limb volume.
`
`The Harmony Triton elevated vacuum system includes a socket, the liner (between your leg and the socket), the
`Harmony functional ring, and the Triton carbon fiber foot. They all add up to incredible comfort!
`
`Intimate fit begins with the right socket…
`
`Conventional sockets force your leg to conform to the shape of the socket, and can create pressure peaks in sensitive
`areas. A TSWB (Total Surface Weight Bearing) socket on the other hand, supports your weight with its entire surface,
`instead of just on the edge or at the bottom.
`
`It’s like the difference between walking in a shoe that fits perfect versus a shoe two sizes too big; even if you add enough
`socks, it will feel sloppy and may cause blistering.
`
`...and the perfect liner...
`
`Our Anatomic 3D PUR liner (made from PolyURethane) distributes pressures in your socket to create a precise and
`comforable fit. It adds comfort and increases connection no matter how active you are.
`
`Otto Bock Exhibit 2014 Page 3
`
`
`
`…and adds vacuum for amazing connection and comfort!
`
`Add to the TSWB socket the Harmony’s elevated vacuum, and you’ll find that your leg is drawn more completely into the
`custom socket. This creates a more intimate fit, and allows fluids to be more easily drawn back into your limb when
`you’re walking.
`
`You’ll feel the difference immediately:
`
`Improved comfort and stability
`Enhanced connection, or ‘linkage’ will help you feel where your leg is in space (proprioception),
`Walk more naturally: by allowing you to spend more time on your prosthetic side
`It may even help maintain skin health by increasing fluid flow.
`
`Handle any bumps in the road: torsion and shock absorber
`
`At the heart of the elevated vacuum system is the Harmony functional ring. The ring acts as a pump with intake and
`exhaust valves to create the elevated vacuum. It also provides shock absorption and can even twist while you’re loading
`it—just like a real ankle.
`
`Otto Bock Exhibit 2014 Page 4
`
`
`
`These feet were made for walking!
`
`Great for all your activities, the Triton’s three carbon fiber springs work together to give you a seriously smooth rollover.
`Add to that the adjustable heel, which helps to absorb shocks along with the functional ring—and you can finally walk the
`way you want to walk.
`
`Go wherever the road takes you.
`
`The Triton foot’s split toe design adapts easily to uneven terrain, adding safety and stability both when walking and
`standing.

`
`FAQs
`
`Take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
`
`How do I know if the Harmony Triton system is right for me?
`
`Otto Bock Exhibit 2014 Page 8
`
`
`
`The Harmony Triton system is suitable for high activity users up to 330 lbs. Talk to your prosthetist about the
`Harmony System and if it’s right for you.
`
`How can I get the Harmony Triton system?
`
`Please talk to your prosthetist. Don’t have a prosthetist? Click here to find one, or contact Ottobock at 800.328.4058
`if you’d like help locating a prosthetist in your area.
`
`What does a Harmony Triton system cost? How do I get the cost covered?
`
`Financial Coverage
`
`Who should use Harmony Triton system?
`
`The Triton feet are recommended for people of all ages with normal to high levels of activity. The feet are suitable
`for various walking speeds and surfaces, thus allowing both comfortable everyday walking and leisure sports
`activities.
`
`Can I use the Harmony Triton system for sports?
`
`The Triton feet are suitable for use in common activities such as jogging, ball sports and cycling. The added shock
`absorption and rotational movement of the Triton VS and Triton Harmony® are great for sporting activities involving
`jumping and fast movements.
`
`Can I also use the Triton Harmony system as part of a transfemoral
`prosthesis?
`
`Yes! The Triton feet are suitable for all amputation levels with the required build height. In transfemoral prostheses,
`the Triton feet work particularly well with the Otto Bock 3R95 and 3R80 knee joints as well as the
`microprocessorcontrolled C-Leg® and Genium knee joints. Your prosthetist might check if the use of a Triton
`Harmony® makes sense, as the tube connection between socket and foot gets quite long.
`
`Is there a version of the Harmony Triton for me?
`
`All Triton feet are available in a range of sizes and body weights up to 150 kg (330 lbs). The prosthetist will fine-
`tune the foot by selecting one of the supplied heel wedges. You just need to decide if the added shock and rotation
`features of the Triton Vertical Shock or in addition the elevated vacuum function of the Triton Harmony® foot are
`right for you.
`
`Otto Bock Exhibit 2014 Page 9
`
`
`
`How does the Triton Harmony® create an Elevated Vacuum environment?
`
`The hollow functional ring with valves of the Triton Harmony® creates vacuum during each step when the ring is
`compressed and released. Air is removed from the system through a tube connecting the foot and sealed socket
`creating the elevated vacuum environment.
`
`Do I need a new prosthesis to use the Triton?
`
`It depends. The Triton Harmony foot can be integrated into many newer and older modular prosthesis systems if
`they have the adequate build height..
`
`However, the elevated vacuum system may demand an new socket to accommodate the vacuum tubing that runs
`between the functional ring and the socket.
`
`Do I need to wear special shoes with the Harmony Triton?
`
`No – the system is delivered with a footshell that is based on the shape of a natural foot. Alternatively, you can
`order a slim footshell that is suitable for use with shoes with a slight heel rise. Both versions allow you to wear thong
`sandals.
`
`Where can I find more information on the Harmony Triton family of
`products?
`
`Your prosthetist or doctor will be happy to advise you concerning the Harmony Triton and whether it is right for you
`—or whether one of the other Triton feet or Harmony pumps may better suit your needs. You can also visit our
`website at www.yourlife-youradventure.com
