Original post
Hi all, I have fit a few TEC Harmony systems and I like the way they work. The pump itself can occasionally be bit of a problem though, and I wanted to try one of the electronic pumps available. I would like to get an idea about the pros and cons of the pumps that are on the market. I know of the OWW Limb logic and I have seen that Otto Bock is coming out with one. Has anyone used either of these and what were the results. I will post results.

Responses from clinicians, thanks for the input:
I was just at the OWW course on the Limb Logic device. It seems to be a great system, very simple and easy to use (which was one of my big concerns for patient compliance and understanding issues). I do plan on fitting some of them here in the future, after I attend their fabrication course which is in a couple of weeks. It seems fairly simple to fabricate, and comes with good instructions I think.
Good Luck.
