The Hydraulik SNS®

Greater Flexibility for More Active Lifestyles
From running step over step, to walking down stairs step over step, the special features of the Mauch SNS allow you to experience a higher level of activity.

Stance Adjustment
The weight bearing yielding feature of the stance control can provide maximum safety from potentially hazardous stumbling situations. The unique feature allows you to descend stairs or ramps and to sit down in a more natural manner. This weight bearing yeilding feature is fully adjustable to accommodate various sizes, weights and activity levels.

U-Lever Adjustment
The SNS Hydraulik knee control system provides a smooth, natural gait, because swing phase is initiated before transferring your weight to the other leg. The stance control is automatically eliminated in the bending portion of swing phase.

For special activities, such as bicycling, the stance control can be manually eliminated with the flip of a lever without exposing the prosthesis. The same lever is used to select the full lock mode for activities such as operating the accelerator of an automobile or standing for long periods of time.

Flexion and Extension
In addition to stance control, this system offers independently adjustable swing control resistances which automatically adapt to all walking and running speeds. The swing control limits heel rise and provides for a smooth extension stop.

The SNS Knee Control System
is also available in lower resistance versions and a black finish. The SNS knee control system is compatible with most endoskeletal and exoskeletal setups.
