Additional Information for Otological Cup Piston
Otological Cup Piston is a type of medical and surgical instrument used in otology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of the ear. It is specifically designed for use in middle ear surgeries.
The Otological Cup Piston is used to replace the damaged or dysfunctional ossicular chain in the middle ear. The ossicular chain consists of three small bones called the malleus, incus, and stapes, which are responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
During middle ear surgeries, if any of these bones are damaged or not functioning properly, the Otological Cup Piston can be used to replace the damaged bone and restore the normal hearing mechanism. It is typically made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or medical-grade stainless steel.
The cup-shaped end of the piston is attached to the remaining healthy bone in the middle ear, while the other end is positioned against the eardrum. This allows the piston to transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear, bypassing the damaged or dysfunctional ossicular chain.
Otological Cup Pistons come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical requirements. They are typically used in procedures such as tympanoplasty, ossiculoplasty, and stapedectomy.
In summary, Otological Cup Piston is a specialized medical instrument used in otology to replace damaged or dysfunctional bones in the middle ear and restore normal hearing function.
