Super Elastic Nitinol - Ptfe Vario Piston Type Loop

Super Elastic NiTiNOL PTFE 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.
