Product information

Review the indications, available dimensions, instructions for use, care and warnings of the Stening® Solid Stent.

Clinical indications

The Stening® Solid Stent is indicated for selective bronchial occlusion in various bronchopleuropulmonary conditions.

  • Bronchopleural fistula.
  • Stump suture failure after pulmonary or lobar resection.
  • Occlusive bronchial treatment.

Available dimensions

The Stening® Solid Stent MS10 is supplied in a pack of ten units in four larger diameters (5, 6, 7 and 8 mm), to fit the bronchus or fistulous orifice to be occluded.

One or more spigots of suitable size are selected, exceeding the diameter of the fistulous orifice or the bronchus to be occluded. For specific inquiries about instruments, bronchoscopes or introducers, contact us at (+54) 11 4553-5070 or (+54) 11 4551-2333.

Implantation technique

The Stening® Solid Stent is implanted with the aid of a rigid bronchoscope, and general anesthesia is required.

Once the placement site and its size have been determined — established by comparison with the known diameter of the endoscopic instrument being used — one or more solid stents of the appropriate provided sizes will be chosen, exceeding the diameter of the fistulous orifice or the bronchus to be occluded, so that it fits the bronchus or stump in which it will be lodged.

The device has a flat tab at its posterior end, from which it is grasped with an alligator-type rigid bronchoscopy forceps. The forceps-stent assembly is then introduced through the bronchoscope to guide it to its final destination in the bronchus or fistula to be occluded, inserting the solid stent into the orifice.

The entire described procedure is performed under direct vision using the bronchoscopy optics.

Removal

Removal is carried out by performing the reverse maneuvers. Due to its radiopaque properties, the device can be identified on radiographs.

Post-implant care

Recommendations for the follow-up of the patient with a solid bronchial spigot.

  • Maintain moisture of secretions when present, performing frequent nebulizations with warm isotonic saline solution.
  • Periodic monitoring at the physician’s discretion.

Use warning

Important

The device must not be reused, in order to prevent cross-contamination.
