Stapes Footplate Chisel is a type of surgical instrument used in otology, specifically in stapedectomy procedures. It is part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed and unable to vibrate properly. During the procedure, the stapes footplate, which is the bottom portion of the stapes bone, is removed and replaced with a prosthesis to restore hearing.
The Stapes Footplate Chisel is a specialized instrument designed to carefully remove the footplate of the stapes bone. It is typically made of high-quality stainless steel and has a sharp, narrow blade that allows precise and controlled cutting. The chisel is used to create a small opening in the footplate, which is then widened to facilitate the removal of the bone.
It is important to note that the use of Stapes Footplate Chisel requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified medical professionals.
