Description
OPTIMIZED FIT
In total ossicular reconstruction, movements of the tympanic membrane can alter the implant position on the stapes footplate. This risk may be reduced by using the OMEGA CONNECTOR together with a total prosthesis. The OMEGA CONNECTOR is designed to compensate for tympanic membrane movements and provide additional stability.
FLEXIBLE JOINT CONNECTION
With sufficient footplate access, the OMEGA CONNECTOR increases the medial surface contact of a total prosthesis. The micro ball joint connects with the cannulated stem of the KURZ total prosthesis. In this way it accommodates drum to head plate angles without prosthesis manipulations.
STABLE CONNECTION
An aspiration tip is ideally used to place the OMEGA CONNECTOR first into the middle ear. The cupped medial end of the total prosthesis is assembled with the OMEGA in situ. A snug and stable fit between the two prostheses makes fixation with adhesive unnecessary. The undersurface of the shoe has a longitudinally milled recess to compensate for footplate irregularity.
MODULAR SYSTEM FOR KURZ TOTAL PROSTHESES
The OMEGA CONNECTOR is compatible with all KURZ total prostheses that have a hollow stem with a diameter of 0.8 mm at the end of the shaft:
- TTP-VARIAC® System Total • TTP®-VARIO AERIAL Total
- TTP®-Tuebingen Type AERIAL Total
- Duesseldorf Type AERIAL Total
- MNP Malleus Notch Total Prosthesis
- MunichLMU Type Total Prosthesis
QUICK DETERMINATION OF AVAILABLE SPAC
With the aid of the specially developed OMEGA CONNECTOR Sizer the surgeon can intraoperatively determine whether adequate space prevails for the OMEGA CONNECTOR between the stapes crura remnants. The measuring tip of the OMEGA CONNECTOR Sizer precisely corresponds to the dimensions of the OMEGA CONNECTOR.
