Specific indications may require custom made stents. Tracheobronxane® Silmet® SM can be customized in various manners: Size, Cover and Mesh may be adapted. This can be an advantage in cases when previously two different stents (one covered, one uncovered) were necessary. Now, one single Silmet® SM can be placed, which could have one or several covers according to physicians specifications.
All customized Silmet® stents may be uncovered, or have one or more covers or may even be covered completely (illustration. 1 and 2). A complete cover minimizes as much as possible the risk of tumor in growth.
Silmet® SM may also come with several different diameters in order to give the stent a tapered (illustration. 3) or hourglass shape. Seeking the best possible collateral ventilation, Silmet SM can come with a mesh size of 5 mm (standard) or 10mm for increased ventilation and a reduced risk of mucous accumulation.
