Symphonie Aqua Line – the hydrostatic plaster impression for accurately fitting prosthetic sockets
The innovative Symphonie Aqua System makes it possible to ascertain the residual limb’s burden within the prosthetic socket under actual conditions and to produce a properly fitting plaster impression while bearing a full weight load. The hydrostatic pressure enables the exact anatomy to already be determined while taking the plaster impression, that is, before the test socket is produced. At the same time, soft tissue situations, bony structures, pressure points as well as scarred and sensitive areas can be optimally reproduced.
The impression and consequent socket align with the anatomy of the residual limb. Accordingly, the hydrostatic system has provided total surface weight bearing, a worldwide first.

The precise hydrostatics of the Symphonie Aqua are uncompromisingly mobile.
Using the VC control unit, the Symphonie Aqua System VC enables optimal adjustment of the pressure situation within the cylinder. Available in two models – the VC TT is for patients with lower leg residual limbs and the VC TF is designed for patients with transfemoral amputations.
