Integrated light carrier for optimal illumination of the operative field
Self-retaining construction
No further retractors required
Allows surgeon to work with both hands (parallel drilling and suctioning) when preparing the implant site
Matt surface finish prevents irritating glare
Can be completely dismantled for optimal cleaning and allows individual replacement of modules in case of damage
One or more sound processors processes the sound object signals to generate stimulation signals to the implanted electrode arrays on the selected side or sides.
Scala Vestibuli and Scala Timpani Double Array Cochlear Implant
An implantable cochlear implant electrode has two parallel branches. A scala tympani branch is configured for insertion into a cochlear scala tympani, and a scala vestibuli branch is configured for insertion into a cochlear scala vestibuli
Embodiments of the present invention is directed to an implantable electrode arrangement for a cochlear implant system that prevents post-surgical retraction.
