Esophageal stent Flexella Plus

nitinolsiliconeself-expanding

Flexella Plus esophageal stent CE mark certified BASIC DESCRIPTION The Flexella Plus is a fully covered self-expandable nitinol esophageal stent. The low migration rate and prevention of tissue ingrowth is complemented by safe and reliable extractability. If the stent is implanted in the distal part of the esophagus and protrudes into the cardia, it may be equipped with an anti-reflux valve that prevents reflux of gastric juices. INDICATION The Flexella Plus is intended for patients aged 18 and older and indicated for palliative treatment of malignant dysphagia, for sealing malignant esophagorespiratory or esophagomediastinal fistula. The device can be temporarily implanted in patients with refractory benign esophageal strictures. FEATURES / BENEFITS The universal low-profile and flexible 16/22 F delivery system allows easy insertion even into tough stenoses. Metallic retrieval loops with high strength and resistance to acidic environment at both stent ends. Retrieval loops in combination with centripetally tapering flares allow safe and ergonomic removal of the stent from the esophagus. High radial force for effective dilation of the stricture and resistance to external pressure. Fully covered stent by durable silicone. It prevents tumor ingrowth into the stent and allows easy extraction. The covering protects the nitinol mesh from contact with stomach acids and potential corrosion. Platinum-iridium markers located at both ends and in the midpoint of the stent ensure visibility of the stent under X-ray. Atraumatic fully covered flares reduce esophageal wall irritation and tissue response. Available with anti-reflux valve.
