New device for single‐stage in‐office secondary tracheoesophageal puncture: Animal studies

A new device is described for secondary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP). We hypothesize that the device can be used to create the puncture, size, and insert the voice prosthesis in antegrade fashion in a single procedure suitable for office‐based use.
