Our Product systems
MAESTRO® Cochlear Implant System – ONE SYSTEM – VARIOUS OPTIONS
Unique to MED-EL, the MAESTRO cochlear implant system comprises of two speech processors, different wearing options, two implant designs and a wide variety of electrode arrays. This enables surgeons and candidates to select exactly that combination of components that best matches specific clinical needs or individual preferences. All components represent the state of the art in cochlear implant technology.
The PULSARCI100 and SONATATI100 cochlear implants represent a culmination of decades of research and development. Introducing the new I100 electronics platform, PULSARCI100 and SONATATI100 provide cochlear implant recipients the opportunity to benefit from the absolute latest advances in technology – today and tomorrow. MED-EL’s advanced electrode design also meets the individual patient’s needs.
Both the PULSARCI100 and SONATATI100 cochlear implants are MRI-safe without the need for magnet removal. Importantly this means no period of deafness while the skin flap heals. Please find details on MRI-safety here
The OPUS speech processors are exceptionally compact and lightweight, with a slim, low-profile design that fits comfortably behind the ear. Interchangeable wearing options, including special options for children, ensure that the OPUS speech processors can be adapted to individual needs, lifestyles and activities as well as the changing requirements of growing children.
The OPUS speech processors offer quick and easy access to MP3 Players,
FM-systems and any other kind of assistive listening devices.
The new rechargeable DaCapo battery and charging system is highly power-efficient,
environmentally friendly, and reduces the weight of the MED-EL speech processors
even more.
The OPUS 2 is the first speech processor worldwide with a switch-free design. Changes to settings are made “on the go” with the unique FineTuner™, a remote control unit specially designed for an easy and comfortable adjustment of settings without having the need to remove the speech processor from the ear. Thus any interruptions of hearing are avoided..
