Additional Information for Otological Adhesion Prevention Implant
Otological Adhesion Prevention Implants are medical devices used in otological surgeries to prevent the formation of adhesions or scar tissue in the ear. These implants are specifically designed to be placed in the middle ear or on the surface of the eardrum to create a barrier that prevents the adhesion of tissues during the healing process.
Adhesions can occur after ear surgeries, such as tympanoplasty or stapedectomy, where the delicate tissues of the ear are manipulated. These adhesions can lead to complications such as hearing loss, recurrent infections, or the need for additional surgeries.
The Otological Adhesion Prevention Implants are typically made of biocompatible materials, such as silicone or hydrogel, that are safe for use in the human body. They are available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different surgical needs.
These implants are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." They are essential tools for otologists and ear surgeons to ensure successful outcomes and minimize post-operative complications in ear surgeries.
