An ossicular prosthesis delivery system having an ossicular prosthesis
including an enlarged head and a shaft axially, moveably mounted to the
head to adjust shaft length. An elongate main body having an operating
portion, including a cylindrical through bore, connected to an adjusting
portion, including a generally semi-cylindrical upwardly opening channel
coaxial with the bore. An end wall at a distal end of the adjusting
portion includes a through passage coaxial with the channel and an
upwardly opening cavity. An elongate cylindrical plunger has a claw at
one end. The plunger is received in the bore with the claw in the channel
and an opposite end extending outwardly of the operating portion. The
ossicular prosthesis' shaft is positioned in the channel with the head
received in the cavity and the plunger is rotatable in the bore to
capture the shaft and is reciprocally moveable in the bore to adjust
shaft length of the ossicular prosthesis.
