Description:
After the RIRS or PCNL procedure, a temporary stent is mostly reserved for several weeks to guide the ureter drainage and stone discharging, to prevent the new stone formation.
Features:
---Biocompatible polyurethane (PU) that softens >35% at body temperature, which will promote greater patient tolerability.
---Hydrophilic surface that facilitates navigation of strictures.
---Small holes on the stent walls to facilitate the drainage.
---Graduated circumferential markings every 5cm along the stent body.
---High retention pigtail shape tails reduces potential stent movement.
---Tapered tips that facilitate accessing the ureteral orifice.
---Clearly observed under fluoroscopy.
Package: individual bag each stent, sterilized by ethylene oxide.
