Stapes prostheses are used to bridge the fixated stapes. Normally, this is achieved from the long process of the incus but can also be facilitated from the malleus handle (malleovestibulopexy). In that case, an extended length prosthesis creates a direct connection between the malleus and the inner ear.
In close conjunction with the Cantonal University Hospital of Berne, Switzerland and on the basis of the CliP® Piston àWengen, a groundbreaking prosthesis was developed. Its greatest benefit is its intraoperative handling.
In the past, common loop pistons were used for this indication, which, due to the anatomical situation, had to be bent at a significant, difficult angle, and be fixed to the malleus handle by crimping.
The Haeusler design prosthesis is the solution for these two main problems in malleovestibulopexy. The advanced ball joint design allows for optimal intraoperative adjustment and the CliP® mechanism creates a secure crimp-free connection to the malleus handle. The implant material of Grade 2 Titanium provides for excellent biocompatibility and is lightweight for optimal sound conduction and handling.
