To our best knowledge, no technical evaluation has been reported using mechanical models to study vocal cord wound closure techniques. We design and develop a customizable and versatile mechanical hemilarynx with direct simulation of vocal cord vibration and airflow that can facilitate ex-vivo surgical experiments on the vocal cord. This setup enables experimental validation on the mechanical stability of novel devices, which are currently developed for epithelial wound closure in microlaryngeal surgery. | Source Title: | IFMBE Proceedings | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/85967 | ISBN: | 9783540928409 | ISSN: | 16800737 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-540-92841-6_252 |
