  • Title: Biointegrated ventilation tube: current status and new developments.
    Author: Jahn AF.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1993 Jul; 14(4):383-5. PubMed ID: 8238276.
    Abstract:
    The biointegrated (HydroxylVent) ventilation tube has been used over the past 3 years in a variety of clinical cases. The chief indication for its use is unresolving eustachian tube dysfunction and failure of more conventional medical and surgical therapy. The surgical technique and a postoperative management are described. New directions in clinical research include a larger lumen prosthesis and a compound prosthesis of hydroxylapatite with Teflon lining.
