Сравнение звукопроводимости некоторых протезов цепи слуховых косточек, применяемых в отохирургии

Objectives: to compare the sound transmission of some middle ear implants of titanium, teflon and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene of high density (UHMWPE). Materials and methods. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the middle ear prostheses of titanium, teflon and UHMWPE were assessed by the experimental setup. Results. The comparison of the received data revealed no statistically significant differences. Conclusion. According to the sound transmission parameters the design of the UHMWPE middle ear implant can be offered to be used in otosurgery for ossiculoplasty.
