ELLA-BD Stent Biliary THP Worldwide unique self-expandable biliary biodegradable stent that degrades in the human body usually 3 to 6 months after the implantation. Therefore, it is an ideal solution for temporary use in benign indications, where it is not necessary to extract it from the body like other non-degradable stents. INDICATION The ELLA-BD Stent Biliary THP is intended for patients aged 18 and older and is indicated for the treatment of benign biliary stenoses. FEATURES / BENEFITS Stent degrades in the human body usually in 3 to 6 months. This reduces the number of interventions and hospital visits. The stent is made of polydioxanone, an absorbable material (polymer) used in medicine as a surgical suture for more than 30 years. The stent integrity and radial force are maintained for 6 to 8 weeks after implantation. Subsequently, the radial force gradually decreases until the degradation of the material after 3 to 6 months. It eliminates the need for repeated exchange of a biliary catheter and extraction, which decreases the risk of infection or other post-procedural complications. Sufficient radial force to maintain the bile duct lumen open in benign strictures. The pH value affects the stent degradation process. The lower pH, the stent degradation is faster. Low migration is achieved by uncovered stent design. The stent is equipped with gold markers - 1 piece at both stent ends. DELIVERY SYSTEM Braided sheath. Kink-resistant. The atraumatic olive and the radiopaque ring at the end of the delivery system allow easy insertion. An option of retracting the partially released stent during implantation, up to 60% of the stent length.
