Olympus offers a wide range of stents in various shapes and sizes.
• Polyethylene Stents Available in straight, duodenal bend and center bend shapes:
Available in several diameters of 7 Fr., 8.5 Fr., and 10 Fr.
With the perfect combination of flexibility and stiffness, the tapered design of the distal end facilitates insertion into the bile duct. The shorter proximal end to minimize the risk of damage to the duodenal wall.
The flaps and the side holes are designed to increase reliability by helping to prevent the stents from moving or dislodging in the duodenum.
• Double Layer Stents Available in duodenal bend type and center bend shapes:
The Double Layer Stent is has a unique construction with a different material in each layer.
The inner layer has a water repellent property that minimizes bile adhesion.
The more rigid material of the outer surface provides the stiffness necessary to facilitate smooth insertion.
The double layer design eliminates flap and side holes to prevent bile accumulation in the stent lumen.
Four flaps at both the distal and duodenal ends ensure secure placement in the bile duct and help to confirm position during stent placement.
