Bronchial stent SAP

trachealsilicone

With a more robust wall, this model is very resistant to max compression. When any stent is put under a strength test that compresses it with loads that increase gradually, the stent’s paulatine deformation takes place until it reaches the cession point. Here, the prosthesis suffers a higher deformation, with a notorious reduction of its radial resistance to flattening. This is called the break point, which is about 900 g/cm2 in a classical stent. In the Stening® High Pressure Stent the tolerance to compression increases surpassing the 2000 g/cm2. Its wall’s thickness increase is accompanied by an inevitable reduction in the area available for air flow. Stening® provides detailed instructions for each device, including insertion and removal techniques, precautions and postoperative cares. Important: Stening SAP has a wall thickness of 2 mm. In order to offer the professional more possibilities in the treatment of different cases, we also manufacture alternative versions with exactly the same characteristics as the SAP, but with different thicknesses: Stening HE with 1 mm thickness (with moderate radial pressure) Stening ST with 1.5 mm thickness (with medium radial pressure) Tracheal neoplasms with a solid extrinsic compression A severe tracheal compression that occurs again after the dilatation In replacement of a classical stent that collapse by extrinsic compression Medical grade silicone Bevelled edges to prevent granulomas Spur system to prevent migration Removable Surface of maximum softness to avoid adherence of secretions Transparent or Radiopaque
