Product Information
In a limited evaluation of the Polyflex Esophageal Stent in 37 benign stenoses, stents were successfully removed in 36 cases. One stent was removed at 270 days, with an average time to removal of 67 days.
WARNING: The safety and effectiveness of leaving this stent in place in, or removing this stent from, a benign lesion beyond 9 months has not been established.
- Proximal flare is designed for improved stent fixation
- Thin stent wall is engineered to elongate when stretched lengthwise post-deployment
- Thin wall is designed to promote full use of lumen diameter for greater patency
- Smooth inner surface is designed to help facilitate passage of foods and fluid
- Silicone construction is engineered to exert constant, gentle pressure to help adapt to normal esophageal peristalsis and maintain luminal patency
- Silicone reinforced ends help resist hyperplasia
- Black radiopaque markers are designed to assist in fluoroscopic stent positioning and monitoring
- Blue endoscopic markers are designed to facilitate direct visualization
- Silicone coating is designed to enhance patency, resist tumor ingrowth and seal concurrent esophageal fistulae
