The K-Piston comes in a number of fixed lengths and diameter, providing a safe and reliable prosthesis. The titanium loop itself has been slightly pre crossed for a better fixation at the incus. Compressors applied in the above process have new type oilless piston rings of Teflon filled with graphite, which might be affected by radioactivity of the. and reconstruction with either a Teflon piston in 14 cases (29). By mean of several refined manufacturing processes, the titanium band loop has been made extremely flexible and soft for optimal pliability and reduced risk of necrosis. In one case, no abnormities was retained in CT and MRI Conclusion: After this study. The end of the piston is atraumatically rounded, thus lowering the risk of accidental inner ear damage due to excessive ossicular movements.
Since the K-Piston weighs only four to five milligrams, it provides the preconditions for excellent sound conduction even at high frequencies. Moreover, these are quality inspected numerous times before finally shipping them to our customers. Known for providing exceptional conduction of sound even at extremely low frequencies, the ends of these products are rounded so as to reduce the risk of damaging the internal part of ears. rich Plester, who had a major impact on the development of middle ear sur- gery. The clip design was problematic for a few patients.To cater the variegated needs and requirements of our valued patrons, we are into offering a quality tested and broad collection of K Piston Platinum (Ear). Although labeled as 0.6-mm pistons, the Teflon piston diameter was 10 greater than the titanium piston. In addition, the titanium piston performed better with a small stapes fenestra diameter that suggests an advantage for titanium over Teflon in certain conditions. Results: Mean pure-tone average air-bone gap for the Teflon 0.6-mm piston (5.1 dB) was significantly smaller than for the titanium 0.6-mm piston (8.1 dB) and the Teflon 0.5-mm piston (7.5 dB). However, actual piston diameter differed between devices that contributed to the superior results with the larger Teflon piston. Platinum grants and exceptional easiness during. The unique features are the result of 40 years of manufacturing experience and continuous experimentations and updates made by the author and by all of our clients. Results for the titanium piston were significantly better when the fenestra was no more than 0.05 mm larger than the piston diameter.Ĭomparing 2 pistons designated 0.6 mm in diameter, the Teflon piston produced better hearing results than the titanium device. Audio Technologies stapes pistons are finely manufactured to grant the surgeon the maximum easy-handling, reliability and safeness. 488, 59056 - Sewing Accessories: Bound Buttonhole Makers, Palms. Results were comparable among devices when adjusted for true piston diameter. 1080, CATHETER GUIDING MACH1 PTFE LIMA CURVE L55 CM OD6 FR ID.07 IN. 487, 59052 - Scissors: Household, Pinking, Sewing. Although labeled as 0.6-mm pistons, the Teflon piston diameter was 10% greater than the titanium piston. Mean pure-tone average air-bone gap for the Teflon 0.6-mm piston (5.1 dB) was significantly smaller than for the titanium 0.6-mm piston (8.1 dB) and the Teflon 0.5-mm piston (7.5 dB).
The first 74 ears received either a Teflon 0.5- or 0.6-mm piston, and the last 33 received a titanium 0.6-mm piston.Īmerican Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery guidelines, including 4-frequency pure-tone average air-bone gap and success rate (gap, 10 dB). One hundred seven ears in 97 consecutive patients who had primary stapes surgery during 2003 to 2005. To analyze if titanium material and a clip attachment to the incus offer a hearing result advantage over the traditional Teflon piston in stapes surgery.
