An improved TORP for the reconstruction of the ossicular chain provides, in combination: a head (C) which is formed by a single cartilaginous block:—a synthetic stem (A) of cylindrical shape which is provided, on both sides, with a respective blunt tip (A1, A2); a cartilaginous base (B) having the same thickness as the head (C) but with a smaller surface. Said improved TORP is configured in such a way as to be able to position, respectively, said head (c) under the tympanic membrane (D) and said base (B) above the plate (E) of the stapes (s); thus obtaining that during the healing process, the perichondrium of the head (c) is welded to the tympanic membrane (D) and the perichondrium of the base (B) is welded to the mucosa of the plate (E).
