APrevent® VOIS is specifically designed for type I medialization thyroplasty procedure for treatment of unilateral vocal fold paralysis and/or glottic insufficiency. APrevent® VOIS is the first thyroplasty implant offering intra- and post operative adjustment by injecting normal saline solution through an integrated port and expand the silicone balloon in specific vectors to compress the paralyzed vocal fold to the middle position and achieve complete glottic closure.
How is APrevent® VOIS adjusted?
“Standardized surgical procedure for localization and implantation”
By utilizing the APrevent® VOIS instrument set to establish a 6*11 mm rectangular window on the thyroid cartilage, our reinvented type I medialization thyroplasty procedure incorporates standardized steps that can reduce surgical time from 2 hours to 30-40 minutes, minimize revision rates and airway complications, while ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.
“Post-operative adjustment at OPD”
Following surgery, if adjustments are required, the surgeon can use palpation or ultrasound guidance to percutaneously inject normal saline into the port membrane to achieve optimized glottic closure. These post-operative adjustments can be conveniently performed at the outpatient department (OPD).
