Clinical Trial Summary

Feasibility of the objective measurement of the ossicular chain mobility, by using a force-measuring device based on a fiber optics sensors (PalpEar).


Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study was to develop and test a palpating instrument, which enables the experienced and occasional otologic surgeon to record force in three dimensions during his standard palpation of each ossicle at surgery and al-lows correlation of his subjective impression with objective measurement results. The first task was to incorporate force sensing capability into a standard 45° angulated 2.5 mm hook, which is commonly used to palpate, disconnect and luxate ossicles during middle ear surgery. ;
