The Shea TORP Prosthesis is a white porous plastic columella made of Plasti-PoreTM material, a high-density polyethylene which is well tolerated in the body as an implant. Designed to
replace the entire ossicular chain, the prosthesis is placed from the oval window to the drum.
The shaft of the prosthesis can be angulated and can be cut off to the proper length by the surgeon. Broad-faced thinned surface resists tilting, and distributes pressure over a large drum area.
Tissue grows into the end of the shaft to secure it to the footplate or other oval window seal.
The shaft end may be cut by the surgeon to the desired length.
