Boston Scientific Ultraflex Tracheobronchial Stents M00576620
The Ultraflex Tracheobronchial Stent is a sterile, single-use partially covered nitinol airway stent with a 16 mm expanded diameter and 60 mm length, featuring a 45 mm silicone-covered midsection. It deploys using a distal-release catheter with radiopaque markers over a 0.035″ pulmonary Jagwire. Designed for bronchoscopic placement to relieve malignant airway strictures.
This self-expanding knitted nitinol stent provides gentle radial support to maintain airway patency, while uncovered ends enable epithelial integration and secretion clearance. The extended 45 mm silicone-covered segment helps resist tumor ingrowth, promoting longer-term lumen protection (product brochure). The distal-release catheter with radiopaque markers ensures controlled, precise placement under bronchoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance. Compatible with standard 0.035″ pulmonary guidewires and deployable via both flexible and rigid bronchoscopes.
