A PLLA Coating Does Not Affect the Insertion Pressure or Frictional Behavior of a CI Electrode Array at Higher Insertion Speeds
To prevent endocochlear insertion trauma, the development of drug delivery coatings in the field of CI electrodes has become an increasing focus of research. However, so far, the effect of a polymer coating of PLLA on the mechanical properties, such as the insertion pressure and friction of an elect...
