Bronchial and Tracheal Stents with Mesh and Posts

Injury of the upper airway commonly results in stenotic lesions of the larynx, subglottis, and adjacent trachea. The Hood Bronchial and Tracheal Stents with Mesh and Posts offer physicians an excellent alternative to the traditional approach of surgical correction and YAG laser resection. The device is placed in the trachea at the point of stenosis as a palliative technique for tumors causing extrinsic compression of the large airway. It may also be used for patients with benign tracheostenosis. Additionally, the device offers the added benefit of internal mesh reinforcement, which allows for secure suturing without tearing the stent.

The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual, which is supplied with each product, provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.
