A device for making an incision in the tympanic membrane, withdrawing fluid from the tympanic cavity and administering a medicament to the space behind the tympanic membrane is provided.

On the other side of the tympanic membrane lies the middle ear, or tympanic cavity.

auditory (eustachian) tube connects the tympanic cavity with the nasopharynx,

The auditory tube (pharyngo-tympanic or Eustachian tube) is a mucous lined osseo­cartilaginous channel which communicates the lateral wall of naso-pharynx with the anterior wall of the tympanic cavity.

What connects the tympanic cavity with the pharyngeal cavity?

Acute otitis media is inflammation of all cavities of the middle ear (tympanic cavity, auditory tube, mastoid cells).

The most important element of the middle ear structureIt is the auditory tube, the tympanic cavity connecting the external environment.

The middle ear, known as the tympanic cavity, is composed of three connected bones called ossicles and a canal to the back of the nose known as the Eustachian tube.

The cavity (called the tympanic cavity) that contains the ossicles, the ossicles themselves, and the eardrum that closes it, constitute the middle ear.

A tympanic thermometer is provided including a heat sensing probe that defines a longitudinal axis and an outer surface extending from a distal end of the tympanic thermometer.

The present disclosure provides a tympanic thermometer including a heat sensing probe defining a longitudinal axis and an outer surface extending from a distal end of the tympanic thermometer.

A probe cover is mountable to the distal end of the tympanic thermometer.

A probe cover is mountable to the distal end of the tympanic thermometer.

On the down side, a good-quality tympanic thermometer is much more expensive than a reliable rectal model.

The detached hydrophilic segment may surround the modiolus of a scala tympani of the cochlea or the inner wall of a scala tympani of the cochlea.

The ideal placement of the electrode carrier is inside scala tympani.

A cochlear electrode array is adapted for implantation within the basal end of the scala tympani duct of a human cochlea.

Said array is inserted into the scala tympani, scala vestibuli or both, by a surgeon.

A cochlear implant system is described which includes an electrode array for implantation in the scala tympani of a cochlea.

The partition between the cochlear canal and the tympanic canal is called the basilar membrane.

The invention enables the automated production of a guide with a large number of electrodes, which is suitably dimensioned for the atraumatic implantation thereof outside the tympanic canal.
