Description
CLiP Partial FlexiBAL® Prosthesis
After reconstruction of the auditory ossicular chain the implant can be susceptible to the environmental changes including dislocation. With an integrated Micro Ball Joint in the head plate the FlexiBAL can follow the macro movements of the tympanic membrane and continually align itself managing some of the disloctation effects. In addition, the moveable head plate counteracts tension, especially at the annual ligament of the stapes footplate.
The unique CliP Design provides the prosthesis with stability and standardizes coupling to the stapes head.
