CARTILAGE PUNCH

ADDITIONAL STABILITY AND OPTIMIZED FIT
With the aid of a stabilizing shoe made of cartilage a total prosthe-
sis can be positioned centrally and retained on the stapes foot-
plate. In this way the surgeon counteracts a potential postopera-
tive dislocation.

SINGLE-STEP PROCEDURE
KURZ developed the Cartilage Punch in an effort to reproduce a
more consistent option for stabilizing of total prostheses. The ins-
trument enables the surgeon to make small oval cartilage slices
intraoperatively, swiftly, and in a single step. The center perforation
is intended for KURZ Total Prostheses with a circular hollow stem.
