Abstract: A roof-shaped implant for spreading the nasal wings, which implant is attachable to the triangular cartilage of the human nose and is made from an initially flat strip that has been bent to a roof shape, has a dorsal section of the implant above the dorsum of the nose is flat or curved so as to be only slightly angled towards the plateau region of the triangular cartilage at an angle of spread of ?>160 °, or curved around the plateau region of the triangular cartilage in a barrel shape at a radius of curvature of r>4 cm, preferably r>10 cm, and two lateral sections extend so as to be parallel in relation to the respective nasal wing at an angle ? of more than 50° towards the flat dorsal section so as to be canted downwards. In this way without incurring major production expenditure it is possible to achieve a particularly good geometric match of the implant to the shape of the human triangular cartilage.

Abstract: An ossicle prosthesis (10), which replaces or spans at least one member of the human ossicle chain, in which the ossicle prosthesis (10), on at least one end, has a securing element, embodied as a first elastic clip (11), for mechanical connection with a member of the ossicle chain, which element is designed in the form of a clamp, open toward the outside on one side, with an outer opening (14) for receiving this member, with which the mechanical connection is to be made, and in which the clamp after the implantation of the prosthesis form-lockingly embraces this member with two regions which are joined together, on their ends located diametrically opposite the outer opening (14), via a portion extending at a spacing from this member, is characterized in that the portion connecting the two regions has at least two circular recesses (19a, 19b), which are curved outward in a circular arc from the member of the ossicle chain with which member the mechanical connection is to be made.

Abstract: An auditory ossicle prosthesis (10) which is fastened to the limb of incus (20) of the human ossicular chain and to the stapes, or is inserted directly into the inner ear, whereby the auditory ossicle prosthesis (10) is made of an elastic material or a material having at least one hinged connection, and whereby the auditory ossicle prosthesis (10), starting at its articulation on the limb of incus (20), largely traces the course of the natural limb of incus (20) to its end or past it, and, angled downward in the region of the level of the natural end of the limb of incus (20), extends to the other endpoint of the auditory ossicle prosthesis (10) on the stapes or at/in the inner ear.

Abstract: An auditory ossicles prosthesis mountable with its one end on a hammer grip of a human auditory ossicies chain and with its another end on a raising bracket of the human auditory ossicles chain or insertable directly into an inner ear, wherein the auditory ossicles prosthesis has a prosthesis element, and an at least one joint integrated in the prosthesis element.
