title: A variable-opening mechanical larynx for use in aerosol deposition studies.
abstract: 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.
