KURZ® TTP-VARIAC. Length adjustable

The AC^sizer enables the surgeon to determine the required length of prosthesis with a high degree of precision. With this information the implant can be shortened to the desired length and – thanks to the patented clamping mechanism within the prosthesis head plate –  the head plate can be securely fixed to the implants stem.

Avoiding tension

It is known that the tension-sensitive annular ligament of the stapes footplate plays a significant role in the postoperative hearing outcome in ossiculoplasty. With the VARIAC system prosthesis as short as 0.75 mm Functional Length can be achieved, minimising the risk of unintentional tension.

Low inventory = low cost

One of the major advantages of the system is that is takes just two products to cover most requirements.
