7. Symphonie VC-App
Symphonie VC is an orthopaedic app
from the Romedis GmbH which is free
of charge. It assists the orthopaedic
technician in calculating the recommen-
ded pressure when providing prosthetic
care, using the Symphonie Aqua Sys-
tem VC.
How a prosthesis fits depends primarily
on the form of the socket. Control, wea-
ring comfort and adhesion are determi-
ned by the plaster impression.
The Symphonie Aqua System makes it
possible, for the first time, to determine
the stump’s burden within the prosthe-
tic socket under actual conditions. Due
to the resulting hydrostatic pressure, in-
dividual tissue states are revealed and
can be exactly determined in the socket.
Soft tissue, bony structures or scar tis-
sue are detected. In order to achieve a
proper socket fit during the first impres-
sion, the hydrostatic pressure must be
regulated for each patient when using
the Symphonie Aqua System VC.
The orthopaedic technician can calcu-
late the recommended pressure from
the VC app by means of the following
parameter:
· the patient‘s weight in kilograms
· the circumference of the stump at the
MPT (mid patella tendon) in centimeter
· the firmness of the tissue
(soft, middle or hard)
· the athleticism of the patient, ranging
from 1 (unathletic) to 4 (athletic).
The prevailing pressure can be adapted
to the recommended pressure during
the treatment, with the help of the con-
trol unit.
