A variable-opening mechanical larynx for use in aerosol deposition studies.
The realistic study of article deposition in model systems of the tracheobronchial tree requires that respiratory patterns and airflow profiles mimic those occurring in vivo. This paper describes a variable-opening mechanical larynx which was designed for use in deposition studies performed under cyclic flow conditions.
