Stapes Prostheses

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on stapes prostheses, which are used to replace the stirrup bone in the ear. These prostheses are crucial for restoring the mechanical sound conduction chain in patients with hearing impairments.
Materials and Design: Stapes prostheses are commonly made from platinum, a combination of platinum and PTFE, and increasingly, titanium. Since 2008, a special combination of super-elastic nitinol with PTFE has been used. The prosthesis resembles a question mark, with a curved part that fits around the long incus and a cylindrical shaft that passes through the footplate.
Superelastic Nitinol: Nitinol is highlighted for its unique properties, including super-elasticity and excellent biocompatibility. It returns to its original shape without the need for temperature changes, reducing the risk of heat-induced necrosis and simplifying the surgical procedure.
Product Specifications: The document lists various models of nitinol/PTFE prostheses with different shaft diameters and applied lengths. It also provides specifications for incus forks developed to ensure proper sizing of the prostheses.
Wire Closing Forceps: Several types of wire closing forceps are described, including McGee, Fisch-McGee, Müller, and Greven forceps, each with specific dimensions and features.
Additional Information: The document mentions that more information and instructional videos are available on the company's website. It also notes that not all products may be available in every country.

In 2008, we began using a special combination of super-elastic nitinol with PTFE. The shape of a stapes prosthesis resembles a question mark. The curved part is placed around the long incus and fixed in different ways, depending on the model. The cylindrical shaft is passed through a hole in the footplate. This restores the...

S tap e s Pros theses Nitinol/PTFE-Prostheses Using the new superelastic stapes nitinol p iston prostheses removes the critical surgical step of crimping the piston loop to the long process of incus during stapes surgery. The average diameter of the incus is 0.7 to ascertain the proper size of stapes mm, but the exact diameter can vary from prostheses. The size of the hook is de- patient to patient. For this reason an incus termined by simply placing the incus fork fork with 0.7 mm diameter was developed in collaboration with Prof. Serena Preyer, Prof. Dr. med. Serena Preyer Chief physician of...
