According to Dr. David Apfelberg, Medical Director for Coapt Systems,"Examples of patients who can be helped by Novielle Voice injections arepatients who have experienced damage to nerves in the voice box, stroke, orsurgery of the esophagus.

Dr. Edward Damrose is conducting a study on the longevity of NovielleVoice in Northern California, and is enthused. "Novielle Voice is a valuableaddition to our armamentarium. I am impressed with our preliminary resultsand I trust that Novielle will prove useful in addressing the longer termneeds of our patients."

Novielle Voiceworks by replacing the lost volume in one or both of the vocal folds torestore voice volume and quality and reduce voice effort," said David Barella,Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing.
