Product Overview
The Hood Laboratories Tracheobronchial Stent - RTP-10-8-S is a reducing diameter stent designed for airway management in patients with tracheobronchial stenosis or obstruction. It provides structural support to maintain airway patency while accommodating anatomical variations in airway diameter.
Features:
- Reducing Diameter Design: Tapers from a larger proximal end to a smaller distal end to match natural airway anatomy.
- Silicone Construction: Soft, flexible material minimizes tissue irritation and allows for repositioning if needed.
- Radial Strength: Maintains airway opening without excessive pressure on surrounding tissues.
- Radiopaque Markers: Facilitates accurate placement and monitoring under fluoroscopy.
- Smooth Surface: Reduces mucus accumulation and granulation tissue formation.
Specifications:
- Model: RTP-10-8-S
- Material: Medical-grade silicone
- Proximal Diameter: 10 mm
- Distal Diameter: 8 mm
- Length: Customizable based on patient anatomy
- Sterility: Single-use, sterile packaging
Use Suggestion:
This stent is suitable for patients with narrowing or collapse in the trachea or bronchi. It is commonly used in cases of benign or malignant strictures, tracheomalacia, or extrinsic compression. Proper sizing and placement by a qualified physician are essential for optimal outcomes. Post-placement monitoring is recommended to ensure stent function and patient comfort.
