Problem
Medical professionals and cochlear implant manufacturers often lack precise, customizable physical models of ear anatomy for surgical planning, device fitting, and education, leading to reliance on generic or low-fidelity representations that can impede training and product development.
Solution
COSA provides high-fidelity, 3D-printed visual models of the ear that accurately replicate the pinna, middle ear, and inner ear structures, including nerves, ossicles, and the cochlea. The models are fully customizable in size, skin tone, and configuration to match specific cochlear implant designs or surgical scenarios. Transparent bone sections allow clear visualization of internal anatomy, supporting detailed surgical explanations and hands‑on training. By combining medical science with advanced manufacturing, COSA delivers tailored anatomical tools that enhance precision in device demonstration, surgical rehearsal, and educational instruction.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cochlear implant companies, otologic surgeons, and medical educators or training programs that require accurate, customizable ear models for device demonstration, surgical planning, and instructional purposes.
