Safe and secure fixation onto the long process of the incus is accomplished without insecure crimping, making the CliP® principle one of the most efficient and effective solutions for Stapedioplasty.
The Piston body is positioned in the usual manner. Then - in contrast to conventional prostheses - the CliP® Piston is simply clipped onto the process for a secure coupling.
Crimping, one of the most difficult and unpredictable steps in stapes prosthesis fixation, has been eliminated. The clip does not encircle the incus. This reduces the risk of necrosis and improves the vascular supply of incus and lenticular process. The optimal coupling of the CliP® Piston maximizes hearing results.
Titanium has a proven record of providing very good sound conduction, even at higher frequencies. There is a smooth rounded transition between piston segment and shaft, reducing the surface area for potential attachment of connective tissue.
