Behrbohm/Kaschke elevator 15.11.2007

Device to elevate fragments in nasal bone and zygomatic arch fractures

The Behrbohm / Kaschke elevator was developed for the atraumatic and effective repositioning of nasal bone fractures.
The form of the branches corresponds to that of the inner nasal cavity.
The elevator is inserted via the floor of the nose and then carefully moved from caudal to cranial. Dislocated fragments are thus elevated and atraumatically brought into their original position. The repositioning of comminuted fractures of the nasal septum, or of the perpendicular plate and of the vomer bone is managed via the even surface.
The pair design enables the surgeon to correct and stabilize bones and cartilage fragments with counter-pressure on both sides, whereby the bayonet-shaped design excludes any interference during parallel use.
The double-ended design provides two sizes.
Centimetre graduation renders it possible to determine how deeply the device was inserted.
The device is also successfully applied in the elevation of impressed fragments of the zygomatic arch: Via a skin incision of approx. 15mm above the temporal fossa, it is advanced subfascially from cranial to caudal below the zygomatic arch, repositioning the impressed fragments by elevating.
We thank Prof. Dr. Hans Behrbohm of the Park Clinic in Berlin-Weissensee, and Prof. Dr. Oliver Kaschke of St.Gertrauden Hospital in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, for their ideas and scientific monitoring.

bess Lacrimal Duct Stent 15.11.2007

Post-operative stenoses may spoil successful recanalization of the lacrimal duct. A silicone space retainer prevents this, but placing a stent inside the narrow lacrimal duct can be difficult.

The bess Lacrimal Duct Stent with integrated probes facilitates the placement of the silicone space retainer in the lacrimal duct.

The bess Lacrimal Duct Stent comes with a separate Space Retainer for the lacrimal sac. It fixes the ends of the silicone Lacrimal Duct Stent and protects the bone fenestration from closure by granulation tissue.

The ends of the silicone Lacrimal Duct Stent are inserted in the Space Retainer by means of a special Inserter.

After placement, the Space Retainer is secured against displacement by a clip. Parts of the Lacrimal Duct Stent jutting over into the nasal meatus can be shortened with scissors.
