Custom Laser-Cut Silastic® Implants for Type I Thyroplasty in a Preclinical Model.
ORL; journal for oto-rhino-laryngology and its related specialties(2023)
摘要
This study aimed to produce customized silicone elastomer implants of varied size and shape for optimization of type I thyroplasty procedures in a rabbit model. Computer-aided design models of different implant designs were designed and used to program laser cutting of a medical-grade Silastic® sheet. Laser-cut implants were produced rapidly and cost-efficiently. Surgical implantation demonstrated vocal fold medialization and phonation in 5 test subjects. This technique may provide a low-cost alternative or adjunct method to hand-carving or commercial implants.
