Calvarial bone harvesting with piezoelectric device.
We introduce the use of a piezoelectric device in order to harvest calvarial bone grafts. The vibration frequency of the instrument allows for the efficient cutting of bone without the risk of accidentally damaging the dura.
متن کاملImplantable bone-conduction hearing device: practical considerations.
An implantable bone conduction hearing device can be of significant benefit to carefully selected patients with noncorrectable conductive hearing losses. However, for some patients the device has significant limitations. This paper presents several practical issues that need to be considered before a decision is made regarding implant surgery. It is recommended that, whenever possible, air cond...
متن کاملA Novel Bone Conduction Implant System
Bone conduction is the process by which an acoustic signal vibrates the skull bones to stimulate the cochlea. Patients with pure conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and single sided deafness are sometimes poorly rehabilitated by conventional air conduction hearing aids due to for example the functionality losses in the middle ear. With these hearing impairments, the cochlea may functio...
متن کاملA novel subcutaneous T-shaped bridge device for loop colostomies.
PURPOSE To describe a novel securing device for loop colostomies, developed in our institution and report our 10-year experience. METHODS The T-shaped support device was used in all patients who required loop colostomy and who were at an increased risk of stoma withdrawal. The device was removed on the fifth postoperative day in all patients. An analysis from a prospective database regarding ...
متن کاملPrescription and verification considerations for bone conduction device users
The last 10 years has seen tremendous expansion in the field of bone conduction devices (BCDs). From a time when there was only one company offering technology to a small group of patients, clinicians, and researchers, there are now several new companies and many new clinicians and researchers helping patients with ever-expanding candidacy criteria and treatment options. However, unlike air con...
