CliP Piston àWengen Titanium Stapes Prosthesis – CliP attachment for standardization

CliP for easy attachment on the long process of the incus. Standardized coupling is aligned with the acoustic signal transmission.

Contact free zones laterally and medially in the direction of the acoustic signal preserve vascular supply and may reduce risk of necrosis.

Product Information

PIONEER AMONG THE CLIP STAPES PROSTHESES

The CliP Piston àWengen is a titanium stapes prosthesis with a CliP that standardizes the attachment to the incus. The prosthesis is coupled medially and laterally, therefore minimizing the risk of unintentional movements in the direction of the inner ear.

Open zones help facilitate vascular supply to the mucosa. Even at high frequencies, titanium is an advantageous prosthetic material due to its low mass, exceptional acoustic transmission properties and biocompatibility.

Benefits

Standardized insertion procedure
Optimized signal transmission
Vascular supply preserved
Reduced risk of pressure necrosis
