A device, system and method for inserting a pre-curved electrode array (100) held in a substantially straight configuration by a straightening member (101) into a cochlea of a subject. As the electrode array (100) is inserted into the cochlea by the device, the straightening member (101) is held by the device such that the electrode array (100) advances off the straightening member (101) such that it is free to take on its pre-curved configuration in the cochlea of the subject.

L'invention concerne un dispositif, un syst­me et un proc~d~ permettant d'ins~rer un r~seau d'~lectrodes (100) pr~alablement incurv~ maintenu dans une configuration sensiblement droite par un ~l~ment de redressement (101) dans la cochl~e d'un sujet. Lorsque le r~seau d'~lectrodes (100) est ins~r~ dans la cochl~e ~ l'aide du dispositif selon l'invention, l'~l~ment de redressement (101) est maintenu dans une position telle que le r~seau d'~lectrodes (100) avance en s'~loignant de l'~l~ment de redressement (101) de fa×on qu'il puisse adopter sa configuration pr~alablement incurv~e dans la cochl~e du sujet.
