A Biliary & pancreatic stents are tabular devices made of plastic orumetal used primarily to establish patency of an obstructed bile or pancreaticduct. Stents also be used to trat biliary leaks or to prevent post ERCP pamcreatitis.
Advanced Features:
- Highly radiopaque for better visualization
- Smooth Surface
- Less truma to the tissue
- High flow rate
- Sterile Individually packed
- Single Use Only
Innovative Design for Enhanced Biliary DrainageFeaturing double pigtail ends with a smooth, rounded tip, this stent combines stability and safety, significantly reducing the likelihood of migration and tissue trauma. The radiopaque stripe integrated along the stent ensures precise placement and monitoring under fluoroscopic guidance, optimizing procedural outcomes.
Versatile Sizing for Adult and Pediatric CareAvailable in a range of diameters (7Fr, 8.5Fr, 10Fr, 11.5Fr) and lengths (commonly 7cm, 8cm, 10cm), the Biliary Stent Double Pigtail is tailored to accommodate both adult and pediatric patients. Selection of the appropriate stent size is essential for effective drainage and successful therapeutic intervention.
Sterile and Ready to Use Out of the BoxEach stent is individually packaged in a sterile pouch, ensuring it is ready for immediate use upon opening.

FAQs of Biliary Stent Double Pigtail:
Q: How is the Biliary Stent Double Pigtail placed during a procedure?
A: The stent is manually introduced via endoscopy using compatible guidewires (typically 0.035" or 0.038"). Its rounded, pigtail ends facilitate easy insertion and positioning within the biliary duct system while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this double pigtail stent?
A: The primary benefits include stable placement due to double pigtail configuration, minimized risk of migration, and reduced tissue trauma due to smooth, rounded tips. The radiopaque stripe ensures accurate visualization during X-ray imaging for precise placement.
Q: When should this biliary stent be used?
A: This stent is recommended for temporary or permanent drainage of biliary ducts and for managing strictures in both adults and children, depending on the chosen size. It is suitable for situations requiring minimal invasiveness and reliable drainage.
Q: Where can the Biliary Stent Double Pigtail be employed?
A: It can be used in clinical and hospital settings equipped for endoscopic interventions. Its compatibility with standard endoscopic accessories makes it suitable for various gastrointestinal and biliary procedures.
Q: What is the process for preparing and storing the stent prior to use?
A: As each stent is individually packed in a sterile pouch, no additional sterilization is needed prior to use. For optimal performance, store the stent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, adhering to the recommended storage instructions.
Q: Is this stent suitable for both adult and pediatric patients?
A: Yes, the Biliary Stent Double Pigtail is designed for both adult and pediatric patients, provided the appropriate length and diameter are selected based on patient size and clinical requirements.
