AC SIZER SYSTEM SINGLE-USE SIZERS

APPROPRIATE PROSTHESIS LENGTH
Consistent and accurate sizing of a prosthesis is critical for
postoperative hearing results: A prosthesis that is too short in-
volves the risk of implant dislocation or migration. A prosthesis
that is too long, can cause undesirable strain to the sensitive
annular ligament of the stapes footplate.

TWO VERSIONS OF SIZING DISK
KURZ has developed a precision measuring system specially for AC sizer Partial AC sizer Total
determining the length of KURZ Tympanoplasty Prostheses. With
the aid of various sizers, which are attached to a practical disk,
the surgeon can quickly and reliably determine the length of the
prosthesis.
Two versions of sizing disks are available:
- 8 sizers for total prosthesis
- 6 sizers for partial prosthesis

FEATURES FOR SIMPLIFIED INTRAOPERATIVE HANDLING AC sizer Disk Partial AC sizer Disk Total
Simple intraoperative handling of sizers is ensured by their light
weight and ideal balance. In addition, elegant design provides op-
timal visibility.

On the back of the disk there are templates to determine the mi-
nimum size of transplants - e.g. cartilage or fascia - for the place-
ment between the tympanic membrane and the prosthesis. The
disk for partial prostheses also features a device for expanding the
bells of BELL Prostheses.
Each disk is packed singly in sterile packaging. Each practical
dispenser box contains 10 sizer disks.
