Results for the titanium piston were significantly better when the fenestra was no more than 0.05 mm larger than the piston diameter.Ĭomparing 2 pistons designated 0.6 mm in diameter, the Teflon piston produced better hearing results than the titanium device. Results were comparable among devices when adjusted for true piston diameter. Although labeled as 0.6-mm pistons, the Teflon piston diameter was 10% greater than the titanium piston. Mean pure-tone average air-bone gap for the Teflon 0.6-mm piston (5.1 dB) was significantly smaller than for the titanium 0.6-mm piston (8.1 dB) and the Teflon 0.5-mm piston (7.5 dB). The first 74 ears received either a Teflon 0.5- or 0.6-mm piston, and the last 33 received a titanium 0.6-mm piston.Īmerican Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery guidelines, including 4-frequency pure-tone average air-bone gap and success rate (gap, 10 dB).

The catalogue shows the total length of the piston (including the loop diameter). Since the loop diameter is always 1 millimeter, the functional length is the total length minus 1 mm.Ĭlick on the button under the picture to download the brochure of the prosthesis SPL 03.00
TEFLON PLATIN PISTON RICHARD MRI CODE
Generally, the last number of the product code identifies the total length in millimeters. This feature minimizes incus necrosis risks The pressure of the loop in the incus is equally diluted thanks to the flat surface. The loop has 3 external groves to ease a soft an equable closing Moreover, it can be easily trimmed at surgeon's need The stem in teflon makes the implant light and allows it an excellent sliding throught the footplate. Platinum grants and exceptional easiness during the manouver to crimp the loop The unique features are the result of 40 years of manufacturing experience and continuous experimentations and updates made by the author and by all of our clients. Audio Technologies stapes pistons are finely manufactured to grant the surgeon the maximum easy-handling, reliability and safeness.
