K-PISTON STAPES PROSTHESIS

USED MOST OFTEN WORLDWIDE
One of the most commonly used KURZ Stapes Prosthesis in the
world is the K-Piston. Its tested design has set standards for the
development of many other generations of stapes prostheses.
Numerous scientific studies support, inter alia, the excellent long-
term suitability of this prosthesis.

REDUCED NECROSIS RISK
The wide band of the K-Piston, which, due to elaborate processes,
is soft and flexible, helps to reduce the risk of necrosis. The loop
is spiral-shaped as well preventing the loop tip and the loop at-
tachment to touch during crimping. Consequently, the K-Piston is
also suitable for small incus diameters. In addition, a low material
pretension in the titanium loop ensures a dimensional firmness after
crimping.

ATRAUMATIC DESIGN
The K-Piston, made of pure titanium with its atraumatic rounded
piston end is available in fixed lengths and diameters. The seg-
ment between the piston and the loop area is smooth and round
minimizing an attachment surface for vibration-damping scar
formation.
Developed in close collaboration with the ENT Clinic of Essen
University, Germany.
