Abstract
The present invention provides a device to restore hearing to individuals who have a discontinuity in the middle ear sound conductive mechanism. The device in accordance with the present invention addresses a specific problem arising often in middle ear surgery. Currently available middle ear prostheses are inadequate to remedy the specific problem of a lateral relationship of the stapes capitulum to the malleus, thereby necessitating a cartilage graft resulting in poor sound conductive properties. The present invention provides a middle ear prosthesis that solves the problems associated with the lateral relationship of the stapes capitulum to the malleus.
