Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A middle ear prosthesis is disclosed having a base member that is capable of interfacing with and bonding to either (a) the thin collagen layer of the tympanic membrane (or the grafted tympanic membrane) of the middle earor (b) the malleus handle of the middle ear. A cylindrical stem of smaller cross-section than the base member projects from the base member and the axis of the stem is off-set with respect to the centre of the base member and can be either perpendicular to, or not perpendicular to, the surface of the base member to which the stem is attached.
