About PTFE Vario Piston type Loop

PTFE Vario Piston Type Loop

PTFE Vario Piston type Loop is a medical implant used in ear surgeries, particularly for stapedioplasty. These loops are designed to connect the "Long Process of the Incus to the Footplate, facilitating sound transmission. Here are some key features and types of PTFE Vario Piston type Loops available:

Tita PTFE Vario Piston Type Loop: Made from CP Titanium Medical Grade 2 (ASTM F67) and PTFE, this loop is known for its easy cutting due to the PTFE shaft and MRI compatibility.
Super Titanium Vario Piston Type Loop: Manufactured using super titanium material, this loop offers self-crimping properties, simplifying the introduction to the Incus and reducing surgery time.
Superelastic Nitinol PTFE Vario Piston Type Loop: This loop combines superelastic Nitinol and PTFE, providing a self-crimping effect and easy downward movement for loop introduction.
Super Tita PTFE Vario Piston Type Loop: Developed using titanium (elastic properties) and PTFE, this loop offers a stable design that maximizes sound output and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
Titanium+PTFE Piston: This piston consists of a titanium loop and a PTFE stem, which can be easily shortened with a blade or other tools, ensuring adaptability to various surgical needs

Superior Chemical and Thermal Resistance

With broad compatibility across most acids, bases, and solvents, the PTFE Vario Piston Type Loop ensures reliable results in demanding laboratory environments. Its high temperature resistance up to +260C makes it ideal for sterilization and processes involving elevated temperatures, extending its utility across analytical, chemical, and biological applications.

Autoclavable and Easy to Maintain

Designed for repeated use, the loop can be autoclaved for effective sterilization, guaranteeing laboratory safety and hygiene. The non-stick PTFE construction makes cleaning simple, preserving sample integrity while contributing to a longer instrument lifespan. Proper storage in a clean, dry place ensures indefinite shelf life.

Accurate and Safe Sample Handling

The loop's smooth, rounded ends promote safe manipulation of samples, while the manual, vario piston technology supports precise liquid transfer. Lightweight, portable, and silent in operation, it provides hassle-free usage for laboratory professionals engaged in routine or specialized experiments.
