TTP-VARIAC SYSTEM
Adjustable Length Prostheses

MAXIMUM VARIABILITY
The tension-sensitive annular ligament of the stapes footplate
plays a key role in reconstruction of the ossicular chain: If undesir-
able pretension develops here, it can have a critical effect on the
postoperative hearing outcome. Short prosthetic solutions as short
as 0.75 mm Functional Length are available to counteract against
unintentional tension.

HIGH-PRECISION SYSTEM
The TTP-VARIAC System provides variability that is recognized
throughout the world: It is comprised of two variable-length titanium
prostheses (one Partial, one Total) and the multifunctional AC sizer
Disk. With the aid of different sizes of Sizer attached to the latter
the surgeon can determine the required length of prosthesis with
precision. On account of the clamping mechanism directly within
the head plate the prosthesis can be shortened to a Functional
Length of up to 0.75 mm and the head plate can be fixed to the
stem securely.

PROVEN BENEFITS OF KURZ TYMPANOPLASTY PROSTHESES

Like all KURZ prostheses, the TTP-VARIACSystem has proven ben-
efits: The elegant design and a fenestrated head plate provide
maximum intraoperative visibility. The partially roughened surface
improves stability.

TWO PROSTHESES FOR ALL LENGTHS

The high flexibility of the TTP-VARIAC System ensures not only the most
appropriate length in each case. It also makes a major contribution
to the optimization of inventory levels. One ideal addition to the total
prosthesis model is the OMEGA CONNECTOR (see page 18-19).
