Injectors, Intracordal, Vocal Cord Augmentation
Definition : Injectors designed to deliver vocal cord augmentation material onto damaged laryngeal vocal cords during laryngoplasty. These injectors usually consist of a handheld gun with a barrel that opens to accept prefilled cartridges containing vocal cord augmentation material (e.g., hydroxyapatite, lipids, collagen); usually, they are controlled manually and can be adjusted for precise dose delivery of the material. Vocal cord injectors may be used during video-guided surgery to achieve precise attachment of the augmentation material to the vocal cords.
