When incus and stapes superstructure are missing and the footplate is intact and mobile, the ossicular chain is normally reconstructed using a total prosthesis.
With the Cartilage Punch, application safety can be further increased. A cartilage mounting can be easily and quickly produced for optimized stabilization of a KURZ® AERIAL total prosthesis.
A central perforation in the cartilage slice stabilizes the prosthesis on the stapes footplate. Possible postoperative migration on the footplate, which is one of the causes for unsatisfactory hearing results, could thus be prevented. In addition, the prosthesis is automatically centered in the middle of the footplate which is an ideal precondition for improved hearing results.
