Soft Palate Modification Using a Collagen Crosslinking Reagent for Equine Dorsal Displacement of the Soft Palate and Other Upper Airway Breathing Disorders

<div>Wind tunnel apparatus. A wind tunnel was constructed to simulate simplified human or equine inhalation or exhalation airflow (a) consisting of a fan that blew air over the soft palate, an airflow modulator, and a laser micrometer to measure soft palate displacements. The soft palate was constrained (b) on the hard palate and lateral edges.</div>
