BD Stent

Unique biodegradable esophageal stent in the world.

BD Stent is designed for relieving benign esophageal lesions, namely:

• stenosis (peptic, anastomotic or caustic) refractory to standard therapy,

• achalasia refractory to standard therapy.

The stent is delivered sterile and packed separately from the delivery system. It is manually loaded into the delivery system immediately prior to implantation.

The use of a 0.035” (0.89 mm) / 220 cm stiff guide wire is recommended.

• Stent integrity and radial force of the stent is maintained for 6 – 8 weeks following implantation / Extended period of dilation compared to conventional methods
• Stent disintegration occurs 11 - 12 weeks following implantation / No need for removal
• Dual “flared ends” stent design / Reduced migration rates
• Radiopaque markers at both stent ends / Accurate stent positioning

• Inability to pass the 9.4 mm (28 F) delivery system through the stricture
• Benign stricture in the upper part of esophagus too close to the cricopharyngeal muscle
• Patients with benign strictures due to previously performed laryngectomy
