Dumon Silicone Studded Stents
The TRACHEOBRONXANE® Dumon Silicone Stent is the original design, patented worldwide and used successfully to treat tracheal and bronchial obstructions and stenoses.
Description
The stents are made from implant-grade silicone suitable for long-term placement and are considered the "golden standard to which all others should be compared." (Pr Bolliger, Pulmonary Reviews, Oct. 1997.)
The material is flexible enough to allow for atraumatic insertion and placement, yet will seek its original shape following placement, providing the force necessary to correct extrinsic compression of the trachea or bronchus.
Indications
- Tracheobronchial tumors
- Tracheal stenoses with scarring
- Bronchial stenoses following surgical resection and anastomosis
- Bronchial stenoses following pulmonary transplantation
Application
Placement and removal with a rigid bronchoscope.
Features
- Anti-migration stud system
- The ends of the stents are specially beveled to ensure mucocilar clearance while helping to prevent crusting and granulation tissue from forming
- Non-adherent smooth surface
- Easily removable in case of necessity
- Implant grade silicone
