MRI Instructions for VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE & BONEBRIDGE

Today, we’re going to walk you through the simple MRI conditions for MED-EL hearing implants in less than 5 minutes. Whether you’re a radiologist looking for clear MRI instructions for a hearing implant recipient or a clinician who wants to confirm MRI scans are an option for your BONEBRIDGE or SOUNDBRIDGE patient, we’ve got you covered.

If you’re a radiologist, you’ll know the challenges that any kind of implant can present in an MRI. Whether it’s a cardiac pacemaker or an artificial joint, there are certain safety conditions that have to be followed while performing these MRI scans. And with thousands of different implants, keeping track of all of these MRI conditions can be difficult.

For hearing implant recipients, the internal implant magnet can be seen as a serious issue, even for routine scans. With some hearing implants, the force between the powerful magnets of the scanner and the internal implant magnet can lead to issues of discomfort, pain, or even magnet dislocation.

To avoid these issues, we’ve designed our hearing implants for superior MRI comfort and safety to ensure you can scan with confidence.

Magnet technology made for MRI:

• No surgery***
• No discomfort
• No hearing downtime

The hands-on guides below will show you the simple conditions to follow when scanning recipients with a VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE VORP 503 Middle Ear Implant or a BONEBRIDGE Bone Conduction Implant.
