Page 4: Intended Use
Intended Use The Wave Comfort 3 (WC3) prosthetic foot is intended for use in lower extremity prostheses. The foot uses three carbon composite elements (Figure 1) that conform to terrain while storing and releasing energy during gait. The two upper carbon springs in the WC3 combine to provide a high rate of energy return while the separation between those springs reduces stiffness in all three planes. -
Page 5: Warnings And Precautions
It is recommended that prosthetic feet be stored in a cool, clean, dry environment away from harsh chemicals (chlorine, acids, acetone, etc.). Warnings and Precautions CAUTION: The Wave Comfort 3 is designed to be maintenance free and should not be disassembled. The pyramid dome on the foot is permanently attached to the pylon (main and top) spring and should not be removed. -
Page 6: Alignment (Specifications & Preparations Before Use)
Standard bench alignment techniques may be used for the Wave Comfort 3 (Figure 2). Before aligning, the initial heel height should be established. The Wave Comfort 3 is designed for a ⅜ inch or 1 cm heel height. The initial heel height can be established with a simple spacer under the heel. - Page 7 Dynamic Alignment The Wave Comfort 3 is flexible and conforms well to the ground. This characteristic may make the foot appear to be properly aligned after the static alignment. However, small adjustments in the alignment however will smooth the transition from heel to toe, optimize gait and efficiency.

This stiffness can be dynamically adjusted by changing the amount of plantar/dorsi-flexion of the foot. This adjustment increases or decreases the amount of anterior support during gait. If a smooth stance phase of gait cannot be achieved, contact Fillauer for additional assistance . Consumable Components:... -
