Ponto – Enabling Clinical Efficiency
Made for local anaesthetic
Did you know that between 85%-90% of all adult Ponto patients can receive their implant under local anaesthetic? This can shorten the time spent in clinic and reduce the staffing and OR costs.*
Flexibility in the surgical setting
A Ponto procedure is nowadays one of the least invasive hearing related surgeries. This allows for flexible surgical settings and the possibility to free up main theatres, while still helping your Ponto patients.
Monitor from a distance
Aftercare is an integral part of any procedure. Often with Ponto, this can be managed from a distance, lowering the burden on the patient and hospital system.
