  • Publication number: 20160175093
    Abstract: An ossicular prosthesis comprising a sound-conducting prosthesis body formed with a first coupling element and a second coupling element. The second coupling element is designed as a clip or a slotted bell and has an access opening into a receiving space having an inner surface in the axial extension of the prosthesis body. The inner surface is bounded by a peripheral outer edge having multiple interruptions. The second coupling element has, on an outer edge of the inner surface of the receiving space, at least two spikes distributed around the periphery of the outer edge, extending in a direction parallel to the axial extension of the elongate prosthesis body. In an implanted state, the spikes engage into the head of the stapes to effectuate a secure hold of the second coupling element.

  • Patent number: 9259311
    Abstract: An ossicular prosthesis formed as a sound-conducting, elongated prosthesis body has a first coupling element designed as a tympanic membrane top plate or a clip or a connecting piece to an actuator end piece of an active hearing implant and a second coupling element provided with an access opening into a receiving space designed as a bell or a clip for a mechanical connection of the prosthesis to the head of the stapes. The second coupling element has a backing section on an inner surface of the receiving space as an axial extension of the prosthesis body. The backing section protrudes from the prosthesis body into the receiving space. In an implanted state, the backing section bears against a head of the stapes and prevents a formation of a hollow space between the stapes and an inner surface of the receiving space in an axial extension of the elongated prosthesis body.
