4 results about "Ossicular chain" patented technology

The application discloses a weak sound amplification device in the field of sound amplification technology, which comprises a base, a controller, a sealed shell and a carrier table; the controller is electrically connected with a signal component, a sound component and a power amplifier, and the power amplifier is electrically connected with a loudspeaker; the sound component comprises a bionic sound channel, the bionic sound channel is fixed with a tympanic membrane at the tail end, the tympanic membrane is attached to the left end of an auditory ossicular chain, and the auditory ossicular chain is hung on an auditory ossicular chain beam; the signal component comprises a manual workbench, a precision workbench and a piezoelectric stack support, the piezoelectric stack support is internally provided with a piezoelectric stack, the front end surface of the piezoelectric stack support is fixedly connected with the rear end of a probe support, and the front end of the probe support is provided with a conductive probe; the auditory ossicular chain and the auditory ossicular chain beam are made of conductive material and are electrically connected; the manual workbench, the precision workbench and the piezoelectric stack are used for adjusting the distance between the front end of the conductive probe and the right end of the auditory ossicular chain in three stages, so that the two are connected with the controller in series to form a closed quantum tunneling circuit. The application solves the problem of difficult weak sound collection.

Systems and methods can be employed to access the middle ear through the tympanic membrane for the delivery of therapeutic agents to, for example, the round window niche adjacent to the cochlea under direct visualization. The systems and methods can also be used to improve accessibility and visualization for various otologic procedures, such as, but not limited to, cholesteatoma removal, tympanic membrane repair, and ossicular chain repair.

An improved TORP for the reconstruction of the ossicular chain provides, in combination: a head (C) which is formed by a single cartilaginous block:—a synthetic stem (A) of cylindrical shape which is provided, on both sides, with a respective blunt tip (A1, A2); a cartilaginous base (B) having the same thickness as the head (C) but with a smaller surface.Said improved TORP is configured in such a way as to be able to position, respectively, said head (c) under the tympanic membrane (D) and said base (B) above the plate (E) of the stapes (s); thus obtaining that during the healing process, the perichondrium of the head (c) is welded to the tympanic membrane (D) and the perichondrium of the base (B) is welded to the mucosa of the plate (E).

Systems and methods can be employed for trans-tympanic membrane access to the middle ear for delivery of a therapeutic agent, for example, to the round window niche adjacent to the cochlea under direct visualization. The systems and methods can also be used to improve accessibility and visualization for various otological surgical procedures, such as, but not limited to, cholesteatoma removal, tympanic membrane repair and ossicular chain repair.
