The Biodegradable Stent (BD) is a groundbreaking solution tailored for addressing benign strictures in the mid and lower esophagus. It promotes effective long-term remodeling of strictures while minimizing the complications associated with stent migration and the need for further interventions.

View full details

Designed specifically for benign conditions such as peptic, caustic, and anastomotic strictures, the BD stent aims to reduce the frequency of re-interventions, enhancing the patient care process. This device serves as a cost-effective and patient-oriented alternative to repetitive esophageal dilatation treatments.

Product Features

  • Enhances Patient Well-Being: Significantly improves the quality of life for users.
  • Decreases Hospital Visits: Reduces the necessity for multiple follow-up appointments.
  • Promotes Long-Term Relief: Offers a greater than 50% chance of lasting symptom resolution for benign conditions.
  • Versatile Indications: Effective for treating a variety of strictures, including peptic, anastomotic, and caustic types.
  • Minimized Migration Rates: Demonstrates lower migration rates compared to traditional plastic or metal stents used for benign strictures.
  • Reduces Complication Risks: Helps avoid potential issues associated with SEMS migration in benign cases.

Degradation Mechanism: The stent gradually undergoes bioabsorption of PDS material, allowing for its natural passage through the digestive tract.

Delivery System: Features a user-friendly distal release pull-back system with a detachable olive.
