“…Use of these materials clinically has been reported and conductive hearing improvement demonstrated averaging 20 dB for total ossicular replacement prostheses. 3 Smyth et a14 believe that results using Proplast and Plasti-Pore ossicular replacement prostheses provide hearing comparable to homologous materials with the added advantages of immediate availability and ease of use. A risk of extrusion, as high as 11%,5 remains with current recommendations that the Plasti-Pore prosthesis, in particular, be covered with cartilage at its interface with soft tissue.3 Bioglass i s a bioactive glass developed as a replacement for bone in reconstructive surgery.…”

Four biomaterials, UF45S5 Bioglass, Silastic, Plasti-Pore, and Proplast, were used to replace the incus in a mouse ear model. Bioglass, a bioactive glass ceramic, compared favorably with the other test materials in maintaining surgical positioning between malleus and stapes and remaining stable to a blast of nitrogen gas and to pick manipulation. In a short-term animal study, Bioglass showed histocompatibility comparable to that of these other implant materials now used in ossicular replacement surgery in humans.
