Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to a securable inner drug delivery plug or stopper that is configured to be inserted into, and secured (retained) within, an opening of the inner ear of a recipient. The securable inner drug delivery plug is configured to deliver drugs directly into the inner ear.

Abstract: Presented herein are magnet arrangements for use with encapsulated implantable components. An implantable component comprises an implant body and a plurality of wire loops forming an internal coil that are encapsulated in a biocompatible overmolding. The implantable component also comprises a bone fixture positioned proximate to the plurality of wire loops and an implantable magnet attached to the bone fixture.

Abstract: Presented herein are implantable systems and methods for long-term delivery of treatment substance to a recipient.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to a perioperative implant cover configured to cover at least a portion of an implantable component during portions of the perioperative period (i.e., preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of surgery) in which the implantable component is susceptible to bacteria contamination. By covering the implantable component during these portions of the perioperative period, the cover reduces the possibility of bacteria contamination and subsequent perioperative colonization.

Abstract: Presented herein are separable magnet arrangements for use with encapsulated implantable components. A separable magnet arrangement includes an implantable magnet is at least one of fully encapsulated in, and mechanically severable from, an overmolding of the encapsulated implantable component or an implantable magnet that is physically separate from the encapsulated implantable component.

Abstract: An implant such as a cochlear assembly, or other similar device, includes an elongated therapeutic member arranged and constructed to perform a therapeutic function. The therapeutic member has at least two configurations: an insertion and a deployed configuration. The first configuration is selected to ease the insertion of the member into a body cavity. A stiffening member is used to urge said therapeutic member toward said first configuration. The stiffening member is made of a bioresorbable material so that after insertion, the stiffening member dissolves and allows the therapeutic member to assume the second configuration.
