  • Gentle, radial force helps the stent adapt to airway anatomy and maintain patency
  • Full-length silicone coating is designed to seal tracheoesophageal and bronchoesophageal fistulae and help prevent tumor in-growth
  • Engineered to elongate when stretched lengthwise which facilitates stent change or removal
  • Radiopaque delivery system is designed to help facilitate precise positioning and controlled use by promoting visibility during placement and post-operative follow-up
  • Polyester mesh structure on outer stent surface is designed to help reduce migration
  • Thin wall diameter is engineered for greater airway patency
