AC sizer System
Sterile Single-Use Sizers
for KURZ ® Tympanoplasty
Prostheses
The unique AC sizer System significantly simplifies
the all-important intra-operative determination
of the length of a KURZ ® Tympanoplasty
prosthesis. The sizers, which are attached to
the perimeter of a central disk, are used to
quickly, exactly and reliably determine the
required prosthesis length.
The selected sizer is simply cut off using micro
scissors, transported into the middle ear and
positioned between the tympanic membrane
and the head of the stapes (Partial) or the stapes
footplate (Total). The lightweight plastic and the
delicate design of the sizer offers easy, evenly
balanced handling and ideal visibility in the
middle ear. The corresponding prosthesis length
is shown on the head of the sizer.
Individually packaged sizers are available for
total prostheses (8 sizers in 0.5 mm increments)
and partial prostheses (6 sizers in 0.5
mm increments) and are supplied in a practical
dispenser box.
Benefits:
• Exact determination of the ideal prosthesis
length helps prevent postoperative complications
such as dislocation and/or protrusion,
and optimizes tension and sound
conduction
• Lightweight and delicate design leads to
easy handling and a perfect view
• Simple and standardized application provides
reliable and clear measurements
• Cost saving single-use product eliminates
cleaning and sterilization expenses
• Practical work surface with measurement
scale and templates for determining the
smallest transplant size used to cover the
prosthesis headplate and protect the tympanic
membrane
• Integrated BELL Expander to expand the
bell of a BELL Partial Prosthesis
