Titanium Middle Ear Implants, trimable
In 1998, Spiggle & Theis was the first company world wide to introduce titanium middle ear implants with removable heads onto the market.
The idea behind this development was a clear reduction in storage space for the user. Prior to this, to cover all eventualities, every possible length of partial and total implants had had to be held in storage. This meant that a stock of 18 implants was always necessary for the range between 3 - 7,5 mm in TORPs and 2 - 5,5 mm in PORPs, with a subdivision every 0,5 mm.
Instead of having to store 1-2 pieces of each PORP and TORP size, this system makes it possible that just 4 implants can cover the size spectrum mentioned above. Thus creating a considerable reduction in both costs and the storage space required.
