Ureteral Stent

Ureteral stents are essential for managing urinary tract obstructions and ensuring effective kidney drainage, but they often face issues like displacement and discomfort due to their rigid designs. Our patented ureteral stent introduces a solution with a tubular member featuring adjustable retention structures and a customizable coiling system. This innovation allows for precise placement and secure anchoring, significantly enhancing the stent’s stability and reducing common complications.

A key advantage of this design is its adaptability in length, which drastically cuts down the need for hospitals to stock multiple stents of different sizes. Currently, a typical healthcare facility must maintain an inventory of over 30 different sizes of ureteral stents, each with a limited shelf life of 12-18 months. This variety often leads to waste as unused stents expire and are discarded, especially the lesser-used sizes that some hospitals might not stock at all. This can compromise patient care in emergency situations where an exact size is unavailable, potentially resulting in the need for additional procedures.

Particularly valuable in the urology sector of the medical device industry, this stent improves procedural efficiency and patient outcomes in treating urinary obstructions. Its adaptability and ease of installation make it a critical tool in advancing minimally invasive urological technologies.
