Abstract:Introduction: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years, many patients after extubation had stenosis in all tracheal areas because of long-term intubation. Therefore, tracheal stenosis in these patients is benign and can be treated using silicone stents, and many patients need silicone stents during recovery. A silicone stent is an artificial support that plays a significant role in managing airway obstruction.Methods: This research aims to fabricate an optimal silicone stent reinforced with Nanosilica by v… Show more
