Richards Platinum Fluoroplastic Pistons
Richards Platinum Fluoroplastic Pistons incorporate the popular fluoroplastic piston shaft with the highly biocompatible, easily crimped Olympus platinum-ribbon loop for ease of attachment around the incus. Platinum is a well-tolerated, “obedient” metal that is easy to crimp with virtually no “spring-back.” The loop is a flat cross-section (rather than round), providing a wide area of contact to discourage point necrosis and to provide superior purchase. Richards Platinum Fluoroplastic Pistons are available in a broad array of diameters and functional lengths.
