摘要:
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.
摘要:
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.

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 an recipient. The securable inner drug delivery plug is configured to deliver drugs directly into the inner ear.

摘要:
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.
摘要:
A method, including determining a change in an actuator impedance based on a change in an electrical property of a system of which the actuator is apart, and determining one or more system characteristics based on the change in the actuator impedance.
摘要:
A passive transcutaneous bone conduction device configured to deliver externally-generated mechanical vibrations to a bone of a recipient's head, the device comprising: an implantable magnetic coupler configured to be rigidly attached to the bone; and an external vibrator including an actuator having a movable magnetic mass; wherein the movable magnetic mass and the magnetic coupler form a transcutaneous magnetic coupling sufficient to retain the vibrator against soft tissue covering the bone with sufficient force to facilitate delivery of mechanical vibrations from the vibrator to the bone.
摘要:
This invention relates to flying paster, comprising a frame (1), a turret (46) rotatably arranged around a horizontal axis (L1) inside of said frame (1), reel arms (3, 5; 3A, 3B, 5A, 5B) arranged on said turret (46), at least one of said reel arms (3, 5; 3A, 3B, 5A, 5B) arranged to be axially movable on said turret (46), said moveable reel arm (3; 3A, 5 5B) holding at least one chuck arrangement (30A, 30B; 50B) for paper rolls (R1, R2; R1′, R2′), said at least one chuck arrangement (30A, 30B; 50B) having a driven spindle (328, 329) to drive at least one of said paper rolls (R1, R2; R1′, R2) and at least one motor (20; 20A, 20B) which via at least one transmission arrangement (21-27) is arranged to drive said spindle (328, 329), wherein that said at least one motor (20; 20A, 10 20B) is arranged outside of said frame (1) and that said transmission arrangement (21-27) is arranged to transmit the driving force to said spindle (328, 329) by means of a coaxially extending device that extends coaxially with said horizontal axis (L1).
摘要:
An external component of a bone conduction device, including a vibrator and a platform configured to transfer vibrations from the vibrator to skin of the recipient, wherein the vibrator and platform are configured to quick connect and quick disconnect to and from, respectively, one another.
