Definitions
- the present invention relates to a connector system for interconnecting a bone anchored implant with a bone conduction hearing aid.
- Bone anchored hearing aids are essential for the rehabilitation of patients suffering from some specific type of hearing losses for which traditional hearing aids are insufficient.
- This type of device consists of an external hearing aid with a vibrating transducer which is connected via a connector to a skin penetrating abutment mounted on a fixture anchored in the skull bone.
- the abutment can be mounted on the fixture with a small screw going through the centre of the abutment and into a threaded hole in the fixture.
- the invention described in US 5735790 includes a flexible coupling part going inside of the abutment which is a design which can limit the size of the conical entering of the coupling which is necessary to make it easy for especially elderly patients to find the way into the coupling when the hearing aid is connected to the abutment.
- the invention described in SE 89032718 had flexible coupling arms which extended along the centre axis of the coupling over a ball shaped part representing a significant portion of the abutment length which increased the risk for the flexible coupling to interfere with the skin around the other end on the abutment.
- the invention described in SE 89032718 had no separate spring arrangement so it is difficult to change the coupling part on the hearing aid and the invention therefore also includes several of the drawbacks described for in US 5735790. Both of these inventions also have flexible arms in the axial direction and where the flexible arms include slots in the axial direction where the abutment or something else can get into the slots and damage the spring arrangement. An arrangement intended to hinder such damage is likely to increase the collection of dirt in the coupling.
- the invention described in US 4498461 is a bayonet coupling which is a design with several drawbacks since it includes wear and tear parts mounted into the abutment on patient instead of mounted on the easy removable hearing aid part of the system.
- a design like the one described in SEO 102207 has several drawbacks since it includes magnetic components which are not compatible with MRI equipment used at hospitals and a small magnetic circuit can not generate the force needed to keep the hearing aid properly in place.
- a connector system can include a connector mounted directly on the hearing aid or a connector on any kind of separatable interconnection unit which can be connected in between the connector on the hearing aid and the abutment, Summary of the invention
- the connector system of the present invention provides an effective solution to the above-outlined problems with the conventional designs of bone anchored hearing aid couplings.
- the connector system of the present invention has a flexible coupling substantially working on the outside of the abutment. It has a circular planar contact surface with a wide diameter which makes the coupling stable but where the hearing aid can still be rotated around the coupling which can be important from an aesthetic point of view.
- the coupling shoes are pressed against the outer mantle surface of the abutment in a conical arrangement so that the connector plate is pressed against the abutment at the contact surface. In this way a safe and reliable connection is achieved.
- the coupling shoes and the spring are moving in radial direction and the spring is circular around the centre axis of the coupling, only a small portion of the length of the abutment needs to be enclosed by the coupling shoes, which minimizes the risk of the coupling shoes being in contact with the skin around the other end of the abutment. Therefore the coupling shoes extends over preferrably less than 50% of the total length of the abutment in axial direction when the hearing aid is connected to the abutment.
- the extension of the coupling shoes over the abutment is defined as the distance in axial direction from the lateral end of the abutment to the contra lateral end of the coupling shoes when the hearing aid is connected to the abutment.
- the spring extends substantially circular around the centre axis of the coupling without any significant spring arm extension in the axial direction a low profile of the whole connection can be designed.
- a low profile of the connection is important from both safety and aesthetic aspects.
- the coupling shoes can be pressed against the abutment by a separate circular spring, for example a metal spring.
- the metal spring is mounted in a grove on the outside of the coupling shoes which makes it easy to remove and replace the spring. When the spring has been removed also the coupling shoes can be removed and replaced.
- An important flexibility is that that a spring with suitable stiffness can be chosen for each individual patient which can increase patient safety since it is important that the hearing aid falls off in case of a sudden impact to avoid damaging the fixture in the skull bone.
- Another advantage with a steel spring arrangement is that this type of spring has a quite constant spring force during long term use compared with an elastic plastic material acting as a spring.
- a significant cost saving with this arrangement is that the coupling shoes, which are preferably made of a softer material than the abutment, to minimize the wear on the abutment, can easily be changed when these have been worn out or damaged.
- the design can include more than two coupling shoes.
- the connector plate has a compression limitation surface hindering the coupling shoes from moving more far to the centre in such a way that the connection can enter and easily be pressed on to the abutment. This is an improvement compared to a more basic design where the coupling shoes goes against each other which might result in hair from the patient being stuck between the coupling shoes since the coupling shoes are more visible than the connector plate.
- the contact surface of the connector plate can be made of a plastic or ceramic material to ensure that the abutment is electrically insulated from the hearing aid electronics.
- a release surface is positioned above the contact surface of the connector plate thus entering inside of the abutment which helps centering the connector plate on the abutment and helps pushing the connector plate away from the abutment when the hearing aid is moved sidewise in relation to the abutment in for example a release situation.
- the coupling shoes and the connector plate is manufactured in one piece of an elastic material such as a plastic material which can in itself act as a spring.
- a plastic material can be reinforced by including other materials such as metal components, carbon fiber or glass fiber.
- the abutment coupling area on the abutment outer mantle surface is a conical surface with a conical angle of at least 20 degrees which will ensure that a sufficiently large portion of the radial force will be used for pressing the abutment against the connector plate which is important to ensure a distortion free sound transmission.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of the connector of the present invention when the hearing aid is connected to the skull.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the connector when the connector is connected to the abutment.
- Figure 3 is a cross- sectional side view of the connector when the connector is disconnected from the abutment.
- Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the connection shown in Figure
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the connector of the present invention wherein the connector plate and the coupling shoes are made in one piece.
- FIG 1 a preferred embodiment of a connector system 1 for interconnecting a hearing aid 3 with a fixture 5 anchored in the skull bone 7 is shown.
- a connector 8 is on one side in operative engagement with an abutment 9 which is mounted on the fixture 5 and which goes through the skin 11.
- the other opposite side of the connector 8 is in operative engagement with a connector plate 17 that is connected to the hearing aid 3.
- the connector 8 includes a circular metal spring 13 and two coupling shoes 15 mounted on the connector plate 17.
- the spring 13 is removably attached to a groove 18 defined on an outside surface 19 of the shoes 15.
- the connector plate 17 has a circular connector contact surface 20 that is in contact with a contact surface 21 of the abutment 9.
- An abutment coupling area 23 on an outer mantle surface 25 of the abutment 9 is conical with a conical angle 27 relative to a centre axis of the abutment and has an increasing diameter in a lateral direction (L).
- a coupling area 29 protruding inwardly on an inside 30 of the coupling shoes 15 is also conical with a greater diameter in the lateral direction.
- the contact surface has a diameter (dl) and the opposite coupling areas 29 are separated by a diameter distance (d2) so that the diameter (dl) is greater than the diameter (d2) when the hearing aid 3 is not connected to the abutment 9.
- the coupling areas 29 In order to snap in the abutment, the coupling areas 29 must be separated against a biasing force of the spring 13.
- the conical shape of the coupling area 23 in combination with the inwardly protruding coupling area 29 prevents the abutment from disengaging from the connector 8. However, the abutment 9 may be disconnected from the connector 8 by again biasing the shoes 15 against the inward biasing force of the spring 13.
- the coupling shoes 15 are pressed inwardly by the spring 13 against the biasing compression limitation surface 31 of the connector plate 17 to prevent the coupling shoes 15 from moving too far inwardly to the center.
- the diameter of the entering edge 33 of the coupling shoes 15 is preferably always greater than the diameter of the abutment entering edge 35.
- FIG 4 a conical release surface 37 on the connector plate 17 is shown.
- the conical release surface 37 engages a cavity 38 of the abutment 9, best shown in Fig. 2, and contributes to centering the connector plate 17 on the abutment 9 and pushes the connector plate 17 away from the abutment 9 when the connector plate 17 is moved sidewise relative to the abutment 9.
- Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment where coupling shoes 115 and a connector plate 117 are manufactured in one piece with a spring portion 139 connecting the coupling shoes 1 15 and the connector plate 117. While the present invention has been described in accordance with preferred compositions and embodiments, it is to be understood that certain substitutions and alterations may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.
