Additional Information for Otological Nonmetallic Piston
Otological nonmetallic pistons are medical devices used in otology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of the ear. These pistons are specifically designed for use in middle ear surgeries, such as tympanoplasty or stapedectomy.
The term "nonmetallic" refers to the material composition of the piston, which is typically made of a non-metal substance like silicone or Teflon. This is important because metallic pistons can cause complications such as erosion or extrusion in the middle ear.
Otological nonmetallic pistons are used to replace damaged or dysfunctional components of the middle ear, such as the ossicles (small bones) or the stapes (the smallest bone in the human body). They are designed to restore proper hearing function by transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
These pistons come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient needs and surgical techniques. They are typically implanted during middle ear surgeries by otologists or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons.
In summary, otological nonmetallic pistons are medical devices used in middle ear surgeries to restore hearing function. They are made of non-metallic materials and are part of the larger supply class of medical and surgical instruments, equipment, and supplies in the supply group of medical, dental, and veterinary equipment and supplies.
