SOFT CLIP  HOOK
                               ®







                EASY INSERTION OF CLIP STAPES PROSTHESES

                KURZ developed the Soft CliP Hook specially for standardized
                insertion of NiTiFLEX and Soft CliP Stapes Prostheses. While the
                prosthesis shaft is positioned in the open footplate the CliP pros-
                thesis is gently pushed onto the long process of the incus with
                the aid of the Soft CliP Hook. This reduces the risk of movement
                toward the direction of the inner ear and undesirable rotation of
                the prosthesis.

                REDUCED FORCE REQUIRED
                The Hook securely helds in place the special recess of the loop
                while pushing. It permits gentle attachment of the CliP prosthe-
                sis with reduced force. The application force is transferred to the
                axis of the long process of the incus.
                Developed in close collaboration with Dr. John W. House,
                House Ear Institute, Los Angeles, USA.
