This equipment allows precise treatment of vocal cord lesions causing voice disorders, such as a hoarse or breathy voice. It is also used for vocal cord biopsy to rule out or confirm cancer of the vocal cord, so that appropriate curative treatment can be undertaken. Our current equipment is several years old and in need of replacement.
