Super Elastic NiTiNOL - PTFE Vario Piston type Loop

About Super Elastic NiTiNOL - PTFE Vario Piston type Loop

The Super Elastic NiTiNOL - PTFE Vario Piston type Loop is a medical device used in middle ear surgeries, particularly for stapedectomy and stapedoplasty. Here are some key features and benefits of this prosthetic device:

• Super Elastic NiTiNOL - PTFE Vario Piston type Loop: This prosthetic device is made of superelastic Nitinol (a nickel-titanium alloy) and features a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) shaft. The superelastic property of Nitinol provides a self-crimping effect, which simplifies the surgical procedure and reduces the time needed for crimping the loop to the long process of the incus.
• Self-Crimping Effect: The loop™s design allows it to close softly and uniformly around the long process of the incus, minimizing the risk of incus necrosis. This feature also reduces the time required for surgery.
• Variable Length: The piston can be easily cut to the required length, making it adaptable to various surgical needs.
• MRI Compatibility: The device is MRI-compatible, allowing for post-surgical imaging without the need for removal.
• Reduced Risk of Osteonecrosis: The superelastic property of the loop reduces the risk of osteonecrosis, a condition where bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply.
• Ease of Use: The flat loop design facilitates easy introduction to the incus and provides uniform attachment around the total periphery of the incus, reducing the risk of compressive necrosis.
