for the Meniett Low-Pressure Pulse Generator
More than 15 years of medical research
combined with technical development have resulted in an alternative method to
alleviate the symptoms of Ménière's Disease: the Meniett
Low-Pressure Pulse Generator. The principle of this method is to
restore the balance in the hydrodynamic system of the inner ear by
applying low-pressure pulses to the middle ear.
The Meniett device delivers a
computer-controlled, complex algorithm of low-pressure pulses that are
transmitted to the middle ear, where they act on the round window
membrane. It is believed that the energy of the pressure pulses causes
a displacement of inner ear fluids, which relieves endolymphatic
hydrops and symptoms of Ménière's Disease. In more technical terms,
it is thought that the energy of the pressure pulses displaces the
perilymphatic fluid, which stimulates the flow of endolymphatic fluid
and results in a reduction of endolymphatic fluid.
Patient Safety, Comfort, and
Convenience
Patient safety is assured by a safety
valve that limits the level of pressure delivered to the ear to to a
maximum of 35 cm of H2O. Since the pressure pulses are weak, they do
not cause any discomfort. Natural pressure changes to the inner ear,
caused by normal sneezing, for example, are several times stronger.
The Meniett device is small, lightweight and portable. Each Meniett
device comes with a small carrying bag with a shoulder strap, similar
to a camera bag.
