Ω CONNECTOR

OPTIMIZED FIT
In total ossicular reconstruction, movements of the tympanic mem-
brane can alter the implant position on the stapes footplate. This
risk may be reduced by using the OMEGA CONNECTOR togeth-
er 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 mi-
cro 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 pros-
thesis is assembled with the OMEGA in situ. A snug and stable fit
between the two prostheses makes fixation with adhesive unneces-
sary. The undersurface of the shoe has a longitudinally milled recess
to compensate for footplate irregularity.
