Orthopaedic technicians

Do I have to do any rework or modification?

An additional volume modification is necessary for all passive systems (SA Basic, Ready, and Gravity). The correct volume is already set for the Symphonie Aqua VC TT and TF systems.

How much do I need to reduce the plaster impression with the Symphonie Aqua VC?

Depending on the pre-cut socket edge proximal, each ML measurement in the supracondylar area must be reduced by 5 mm.

How can I calculate the pressure?

The pressure can be easily calculated by using the free Symphonie Aqua VC App. The link for the download can be found on our website.

Must the patient be capable of standing up for taking the plaster impression?

In order to determine an accurate fitting under a full load, the patient must be able to stand. The objective is to produce an accurately fitting socket for the patient.

Mobility grade 1: indoor walker; mobility grade 2: limited outdoor walker; mobility grade 3: unlimited outdoor walker; mobility grade 4: unlimited outdoor walker with especially high demands

Which liner system can or must I use?

There are no restrictions concerning liner systems. We recommend the Symphonie Aqua Liner for providing an accurate fitting.

Can one tend to patients without a liner?

Yes. For this, we recommend the use of a stocking or a thin legging in order to exert a light pre-compression on the tissue.
