Bone-conduction hearing implant system implantation tool
Definition
A hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to assist with the implantation of the implantable component(s) of a bone-conduction hearing implant system (typically the magnet and/or vibration transmitter) into the temporal bone. It is typically in the form of a drill or pin; it may also have a component intended to sweep/scan (non-powered) the cranial bone surface to determine whether there is sufficient depth to place the implantable magnet. This is a reusable device.
