20130041467 | Methods and Systems of Matching Voice Deficits with a Tunable Mucosal Implant to Restore and Enhance Individualized Human Sound and Voice Production - The disclosure relates to methods and systems for making customized treatments to a subject's vocal tissues to provide a desired level of vocal function. | 02-14-2013 |
20140058509 | Medical Devices, Systems, and Kits for the Medialization of a Vocal Cord - Medical devices, systems, methods, and kits for the medialization of a vocal cord are described. An embodiment of a medical device comprises a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an elongate body extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion. The elongate body defines a thread extending from the proximal portion and the distal portion. | 02-27-2014 |
20140336761 | Vocal Cord Medialization - Medical devices, medical device kits, and related methods of treatment are described. An exemplary medical device comprises a proximal portion having an outer surface defining a thread and an inner surface defining a passageway having a keyed portion, a distal portion providing an atraumatic tip, and a flexible main body extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion. The medical device can be positioned in contact with a paralyzed vocal cord to cause a desired medialization for treatment of the vocal cord. The flexible main body allows for deflection upon contact and/or interaction with another device passed into the airway of a treated patient. | 11-13-2014 |
20150366662 | Medical Devices, Systems, and Kits for the Medialization of a Vocal Cord - Medical devices, systems, methods, and kits for the medialization of a vocal cord are described. An embodiment of a medical device comprises a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an elongate body extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion. The elongate body defines a thread extending from the proximal portion and the distal portion. | 12-24-2015 |
20160183958 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ANTERIOR ARYTENOID ADDUCTION - Provided herein are devices and methods for anterior arytenoid adduction. The device may comprise a wire having a first end and a second end at opposite ends of a longitudinal axis, the wire forming a spiral along the longitudinal axis and having a double hook at the first end, a suture threaded through the spiral of the wire from the second end to the first end, the suture forming a turn at the first end and passing exterior to the spiral to the second end. The method may comprise advancing a suture and hook from the subject's anterior thyroid cartilage or cricothyroid membrane to the muscular process of the subject's arytenoid, attaching the hook to the muscular process, and applying tension to the suture to rotate the muscular process and adduct the arytenoid. | 06-30-2016 |
