The concept of an artificial tympanic membrane.

چکیده
A review is given of the development of the concept of an artificial tympanic membrane. Starting with homologous tympanic membranes we compared biodegradable collagen materials (homologous and heterologous) and biodegradable synthetic materials, poly-glycolic acid, poly-lactic acid and poly-alpha-amino acids. As a non-degradable material microporous PTFE and bisphenol-A poly (carbonate) were investigated. It is concluded that either poly-alpha-amino acid or PTFE with poly-alpha-amino acid maybe a suitable material for an artificial tympanic membrane.

متن کاملDeterminants of Failure in the Reconstruction of the Tympanic Membrane: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: The recurrence rate after tympanoplasty is variable between 0% and 50%. The causes of failure may be different and frequently interrelated, making the surgical choice difficult and the prognosis not always favourable. In this study, we analysed recurrence rate and the possible causes of failure of tympanoplasty in the treatment of tympanic perforations. Materials and Methods: Th...

Background: With respect to physical relations in force and pressure, we hypothesized that the prevalence of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation in patients with a patulous Eustachian tube is greater than normal, because in Eustachian tube patency, the internal air pressure of the middle ear will not increase after compression, subsequent to trauma. Therefore the force upon the tympanic...
