Inlay® Ureteral Stent

Description

Dual Advantage Design for Smooth Insertion & Comfort

The Inlay® Ureteral Stent from Bard Medical is designed to optimize stone management and provide superior comfort for patients requiring ureteral stent placement. Whether used for stone management or post-surgical recovery, the Inlay stent offers unique benefits.

 

Key Features:

• Smooth Insertion:
  Lubricious coating for ease of insertion and a virtually frictionless passage through the ureter.
• Tapered Tip:
  Gradual taper helps the stent navigate around obstructions in the ureter.
• Enhanced Lubrication:
  Up to twice as lubricious as other ureteral stents, promoting smoother, more comfortable placement.
• Softens with Body Temperature:
  Stent softens by up to 50% at body temperature, enhancing comfort during indwelling.
• Prevents Migration:
  Double pigtails at both ends help prevent the stent from moving once in place.
• Accurate Placement:
  Fluoroscopy markings on the pusher catheter help confirm the stent’s correct position.

 

Benefits:

• Effortless Placement:
  The lubricious surface ensures smooth insertion, reducing the risk of discomfort.
• Increased Comfort:
  Stent softens at body temperature and forms a “cushion” between the stent and tissue.
• Improved Retention:
  Double pigtails and high retention coils prevent migration while the stent is in place.

 

Indications for Use:

• Relieves obstruction caused by stones, tumors, or other conditions such as ureteral stricture or trauma.
• Post-operative use, particularly after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL).

• 4.7 Fr. to 8.0 Fr. sizes available, in lengths from 14 cm to 28 cm.
