We have developed the first patient specific carbon nanotube composite artificial tracheal implant tested on a porcine model in vivo. The experimental subject has survived with the implant with no apparent problems. Carbon nanocomposite material and the patient specific approach have also been used to develop a voice prosthesis device, as well as new microclips for wound closure. This paper presents our experimental investigation with the carbon nanocomposite materials for constructing patient specific ENT implants.
