Reliable Support for Esophageal StricturesThis metal esophageal stent provides robust, long-term patency for patients with esophageal narrowing due to benign or malignant conditions. Its nitinol construction delivers a unique combination of flexibility and strength, accommodating the natural shape of the esophagus while resisting corrosion and maintaining structural integrity.
Precision in Placement and DeploymentRadiopaque markers on the stent enhance visibility under fluoroscopy, allowing clinicians to achieve exact placement. The through-the-scope compatible (TTS) deployment system is designed for seamless use with standard endoscopic equipment, supporting accurate and controlled manual delivery in real time during procedures.
Safe, Single-Use, and Biocompatible DesignManufactured with medical-grade, latex-free materials and sterilized using ethylene oxide, each stent is single-use and ensures the highest safety standards. The product's minimal elongation guarantees it maintains its intended dimensions inside the body, reducing procedural complications and supporting patient recovery.
FAQ's of Gastroenterology Metal Esophageal Stent - 20x100 mm:
Q: How is the metal esophageal stent deployed during an endoscopic procedure?
A: The stent is deployed using a manual, through-the-scope (TTS) system compatible with most standard endoscopic delivery devices. Radiopaque markers aid in accurate positioning under fluoroscopy to ensure proper placement in the esophagus.
Q: What are the benefits of using a bare metal (uncovered) stent for esophageal strictures?
A: An uncovered bare metal stent allows for tissue in-growth, which may help anchor the stent securely and is beneficial in certain malignant or benign strictures where migration risk must be minimized.
Q: When is it appropriate to use this esophageal stent?
A: The stent is indicated for adult patients experiencing malignant or benign esophageal strictures that require dilation and structural support to maintain open passage and improve swallowing function.
Q: Where should the stent be stored prior to use?
A: Keep the stent in its sterile, individually packed container in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its integrity and safe condition until use.
Q: What is the process for ensuring correct expansion and placement of the stent?
A: Once positioned under fluoroscopic guidance, the self-expandable nitinol stent deploys to a maximum diameter of 20 mm and a length of 100 mm, with minimal elongation during deployment to match the anatomy precisely.
Q: How does the stent's flexibility and material benefit patients?
A: The nitinol alloy and flexible design allow the stent to conform to the natural shape of the esophagus, reducing discomfort and minimizing the risk of complications while being biocompatible to prevent adverse reactions.
Q: What is the shelf life of the stent, and can it be reused?
A: The stent has a shelf life of up to five years if kept unopened. It is intended for single use only and must not be reused to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination.
