Bonebridge Bone Conduction Implant

Long-term Outcomes of Bone Conduction Hearing Implants in Patients With Bilateral Microtia-atresia

“…Implantation of this device requires a greater mastoid space to fix the implant without damaging the dura or sigmoid sinus. This system has been reported to result in lower complication rates than percutaneous bone conduction implants and shows proven auditory benefits, because percutaneous BCHIs, such as BAHA and Ponto, need lasting careful postoperative nursing (10,11,25). For patients who have enough mastoid space, cannot ensure postoperative nursing or wish a good appearance, the Bonebridge may be an optimal option.…”

“…The Bonebridge is an active bone-conduction implant which consists of two major parts, a magnetic implant and an external audio processor. The external processor provides active direct-drive transcutaneous conduction to the magnetic receiver under the skin, directly stimulating the bone via an electromagnetic transducer screwed onto the mastoid (11), avoiding skin reduction of the sound. As a result, unlike the traditional actual transcutaneous devices, such as the Baha Attract system and the soft-band BCHIs, the Bonebridge bring a statistically similar auditory result as the percutaneous devices (10).…”

“…The device is commonly implanted in the pre-sigmoid mastoid bone. Alternative positions, such as the retrosigmoid or through the middle fossa, may be necessary in cases where the sigmoid sinus is too anterior, the dura mater in the middle cranial fossa is too low, or if the patient has previously undergone mastoidectomy [65].…”
