Middle Ear Implants
In otoplasty, middle ear implants serve as re-
placements for damaged or redundant ossic-
les. They restore the defect mechanical chain
of sound transmission between the tympanum
and the stapes footplate.
There are two basic types of middle ear implants:
Total implants, TORP ( Total Ossicular Replacement
Prosthesis) – total ossicular replacement; functio-
nal stapes footplate
Partial implants, PORP ( Partial Ossicular Replace-
ment Prosthesis) – partial ossicular replacement;
stapes still present; functional stapes footplate
According to Wullstein (1968), tympa-noplasty requires a constant assess-ment of the present situation, each of which requires a special solution. One of the great challenges is recon-structing a broken or fixed ossicular
chain to restore optimal hearing. Since the dawn of middle ear surgery, a variety of materials have been used. An ever-advancing development in materials technology has led to the use of titanium since 1994.

The reconstruction of the sound-conducting chain is one of the major tasks of modern middle ear surgery.
Titanium is distinguished from all other materials used so far by its high biocompatibility and stability with high rigidity and low weight. By a simp-le individual adjustment in length and angle partial and total prosthesis can be ideally adapted to any anatomical situation. This middle ear implant sys-tem made of pure titanium has been able to provide the young as well as experienced otologist with a tool to safely replace destroyed ossicles and to reproduce the patient‘s lost hearing.

Advantages:• Manufactured from one piece of titanium• Optimal positioning on the stapes head• Large choice of lengths• Different dimensions available
Partial implant designs with slitted bells provide the option of placing the implant on the complete bow of the stapes sides when the stapes head is no longer there. This placement reduces the risk of implant dislocation. The implant head can be either centrally (round head) or
• Central head or offset head with additional groove• Complete bell or bell with slits• Excellent stability and handling
eccentrically (oval head) attached to the implant shaft. The oval headed version has an additional groove for an improved fitting of the malleus. A clearer view for positi-oning the bell end is possible due to openings found in both versions.

Coupling the VSB to existing anatomical structures can be greatly facili tated using non-magnetic Titanium instruments. With the help of the presented instruments
Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) implantation is well established in the surgical treatment of sen sorineural as well as combined hearing loss in e.g. revision middle ear surgery or complex atresia cases.
frequently used during such operations, the VSB can be easily positioned and will no longer be displaced by a magnetic ghost hand.
