HiFocus™ Mid-Scala Electrode Designed for Residual Hearing Preservation and Maximised Performance The all-new HiFocus Mid-Scala array for the HiRes 90K™ Advantage implant is the latest innovation in electrode design and another industry rst from Advanced Bionics. Developed with leading cochlear implant surgeons and using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, the HiFocus Mid-Scala offers unique features designed to protect the delicate structures of the cochlea, preserve residual hearing, as well as suit individual patient anatomy and surgical preferences for the best possible hearing outcomes. When comparing the cochlear implants available on the market, choose the electrode that provides optimal cochlear placement for full-spectrum hearing. strength in design Unique Features HiFocus Mid-Scala Electrode Designed for Mid-Scala Placement The patented design offers lowest insertion forces and no contact with the delicate structures of the cochlea Designed for Optimal Insertion Ideal insertion depth and placement for maximum performance1-3 Designed as the Smallest Pre-Curved Electrode Easy and optimal surgical placement, designed to t safely in each individual’s cochlea Designed for Focused Stimulation Patented electrode contacts with Mid-Scala placement provide the perfect platform for current steering Developed for latest soft surgery techniques, including round window insertion, with dedicated tooling for precise control Studies have shown that patients may retain some of their hearing when cochlea structures are undamaged during electrode insertion4,5 Robust mechanical improvements of the HiRes 90K implant that leads the industry with a 99.8% one-year cumulative survival rate (CSR)6 1.
