Early results of the first retrospective study on clinical outcomes of the Ponto Implant System suggest that physicians may have good reason for choosing Ponto. The study examines the outcome of patients who have undergone Ponto implantation at three leading institutions in the US.
The results of the first retrospective survey clearly demonstrated the success of the Ponto bone anchored implant system. The study found no implant extrusion in any of the 98 patients implanted with the Ponto System. Nor was revision surgery performed in any of the cases. Skin complications did not occur in the vast majority of patients, and those that occurred were minor and successfully managed clinically. Out of 98 cases, there was not a single case of osseointegration failure or revision surgery.
First clinical outcomes of the Ponto Implant System
In an independent crossover study conducted by Rigshospitalet i Denmark, first-time users tested both the Cochlear BP100 and Oticon Medical’s Ponto Pro bone anchored sound processors. In the study, Ponto Pro excelled on a number of key parameters, including speech intelligibility and ease of use. Out of 12 subjects, 8 declared a preference for Ponto Pro.
