Ω CONNECTOR
Modular System for KURZ® Total Prostheses
Prosthesis instability or dislocation are inherent risks associated with total middle ear ossiculoplasty with an absent incus and missing stapes suprastructure. During surgery, additional complications may arise due to each patient’s unique anatomical features, which often make it difficult and cumbersome to achieve an optimal connection with the stapes footplate.
In close conjunction with G. Schmid, MD, Reutlingen, Germany, KURZ has now developed the Ω CONNECTOR. Given the appropriate spatial conditions in the oval niche, this optional base provides maximum contact with the stapes footplate. It is connected to the prosthesis shaft with a micro ball joint. The resulting flexible joint connection is adjustable in all directions and may overcome varying spatial alignments of footplate and tympanic membrane or malleus.
Benefits
- Micro ball joint
Flexible connection is adjustable in all directions
Can balance spatial alignments - Large contact area with the stapes footplate for more stability
- Optional use
- Pure titanium
The Ω CONNECTOR can be used with all KURZ® Total Prostheses whose shafts end in a circular stem with 0.8 mm diameter. The functional length of the Ω CONNECTORS is 0.5 mm. It is sterile and individually packaged.
The Ω CONNECTOR is compatible with the following KURZ® Systems and Prostheses:
- TTP-VARIAC™ System Total
- TTP™-VARIO AERIAL Total
- TTP™-Tuebingen Type AERIAL Total
- Duesseldorf Type AERIAL Total
- Malleus Notch MNP Total
