Brief summary
The primary study goal is to evaluate the histological characteristic of Silk Voice to evaluate the potential for Silk Voice to deliver long-term results to patients.
Detailed description
The primary study goal is to evaluate the histological characteristic of Silk Voice at a surrogate implantation site to evaluate the potential for Silk Voice to deliver long-term results to patients. Information obtained from this study will help clinician determine Silk Voice's treatment duration and whether Silk Voice is appropriate for their patient.
Interventions
Silk Voice comprised of silk protein and cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA)
Sponsors
Study design
Intervention model description
Each subject enrolled will receive implantation of both Silk Voice and control material.
Eligibility

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of subjects exhibiting histological evidence of newly deposited tissue compared to control implantation. | 6 month | Tissue samples extracted at 6 -month time points will be qualitatively evaluated for presence of tissue deposition. Changes in tissue composition will be assessed. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patient and number of reported adverse events reported | 6 month | Localized adverse event associated with material implantation. The number of patients and type of adverse events will be evaluated. |
