HA Frisbee myringo-stapediopexy prosthesis
The Frisbee is used in cases where the tympanic membrane is in close proximity to the stapes. Using hydroxyapatite means that the otologist may not need to add a cartilage graft.
As with the titanium Frisbee, the platform diameter is 3.00mm, and there are three lengths: 0.50mm, 1.00mm and 1.50mm.
Triune Trumpet ventilation tube
The Triune “Trumpet” tube features the same three-flange design as the original Triune tube, but with a tapered lumen which both reduces trauma to the tympanic membrane, and facilitates the removal of any occlusion.

Axis Medical has launched the new Eclipse stapes piston. Manufactured from Nitinol, the “memory metal”, with a choice of either fluoroplastic or radiopaque titanium shaft, the Eclipse piston crimps gently round the incus with the application of a heat source, but is designed so that it does not lift from the stapes footplate when heat is applied.
