CERVICALTM Esophageal Stent

Indication

Upper esophageal strictures

Features

Short proximal head design

prevents damage of vocal cords in cases of stent placement close to the upper esophageal sphincter

Silicone covering

Reduce the risk of tumor ingrowth

Visible green suture for easy removal

Radiopaque marker

4(four) at both ends & 2(two) in the middle

 

BETATM Esophageal Stent

Indication

Leak or fistula after bariatric surgery

Features

Unique design : PTFE covered body and Silicone covered outer double layers

Body : PTFE membrane with unfixed cell construction provides excellent flexibility and conformability to fit in tortuous anatomy

Outer double layers : Silicone covered double layers prevent the risk of migration and any substance to contact the leak or fistula

Both distal and proximal retrieval strings

help for easy removal or reposition

Radiopaque marker

4(four) at both ends & 3(three) in the middle of each ring

 

MEGATM Esophageal Stent

Indication

Leak or fistula after sleeve gastrectomy

Features

Specially designed soft and flexible body

Adapts to the acute anatomy after sleeve gastrectomy

The diversion of the fistula by the placement of a covered stent is necessary in most cases and it reestablishes the continuity of the digestive tract and promotes healing of the fistula. Also, allows the early reintroduction of food, improving patient nutritional states and therefore favoring recovery

Large diameter and long length of the stent

Prevent migration
Proximal part of the stent is located near the middle of the esophagus, and distal part of the stent is located in the gastric antral or in the first duodenal position

Fully silicone covering allows easy removal

Radiopaque marker

4(four) at both ends & 2(two) in the middle
