Designed with Tadeusz Wellisz, M.D.
MEDPORŽ Ear Implants two-piece designs allow for tailoring the height and projection of
the helix to match the contralateral ear. The porous framework provides a supportive base
for a temporal parietal fascia flap and skin grafts. The success of these implants is
technique dependent, and the framework requires a vascular tissue flap, such as a temporal
parietal fascia flap and skin graft, to prevent late exposure of the framework. MEDPOR Ear
Implants are suitable for primary or secondary repair in both congenital and traumatic indications.
Implants are provided STERILE, packaged individually in double peel pouches. For a total
reconstruction, both the helical rim and base components should be ordered.
