Overview

• While performing eardrum repair microsurgery, a surgeon needs to work in a relatively deep cavity on small and fragile structures. This mostly one-handed procedure can prove quite a strain detrimental to eyesight.
• With its core technology for building an absorbable collagen scaffold promoting cellular growth, the team has developed a biomedical material specifically for repairing large-sized tympanic membrane defects. This aerosol therapeutic approach also offers such benefits as faster healing and lower odds of bacterial infection.
• This solution is also an effective one for addressing excessively small and curved ear canals, surgical complexity, and the difficulty in extending anesthesia time.
