A device for tracheal tube during CO2 laser irradiation in laryngomicrosurgery

We devised that the segment of commercially available defensor II tube coming in contact with the vocal cord was concaved. We used this new tube during CO(2) laser irradiation in laryngomicrosurgery. We came to the conclusion that it was much more superior to the conventional tube in safety and resi...

Description
Summary:We devised that the segment of commercially available defensor II tube coming in contact with the vocal cord was concaved. We used this new tube during CO(2) laser irradiation in laryngomicrosurgery. We came to the conclusion that it was much more superior to the conventional tube in safety and resistance of the material to Co(2) laser irradiation and in increase of the operation field.
