Cochlear Limited (ASX:COH) has announced the imminent launch of its Nucleus Profile Series across Europe set for this month.
The developer of implantable hearing solutions says the implant with the Contour Advance Electrode is the first in the Profile Series.
Cochlear advises the product poised for release has the thinnest implant body on the market and will be the platform for the company’s next generation of implants.
The company hopes to launch the Profile with Contour Advance Electrode in other countries and regions once it secures regulatory approvals.
Cochlear says the latest introduction expands what is already the industry’s largest cochlear implant portfolio and supports a wider range of surgical
techniques among implanting surgeons.
Cochlear reported a net profit of $21 million in the first half of the 2014 financial year.
