Tracheobronchial Stent, AERO®

AERO® Fully Covered Tracheobronchial Stent

The AERO® Fully Covered Tracheobronchial Stent is indicated for use in the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.

Advantages

• The laser cut nitinol stent was designed to meet specific anatomical requirements of the airway.
• The geometric shape provides increased and uniform radial force with true dynamic expansion.
• Polyurethane coating helps decrease granulation tissue formation and ingrowth.
• Anti-migration struts reduce stent migration.
• The lubricious inner lumen hydrophilic coating is specially formulated to aid in the prevention of mucous buildup.
• The purse-string design of the proximal suture knot allows repositioning and removal immediately post-placement.

Ease of Deployment

Flexible Over-the-Wire Delivery System

The AERO® Fully Covered Tracheobronchial Stent is delivered to the target site by means of a proprietary, flexible, over-the-wire delivery system. Benefits of the delivery system are:

• Accurate one-handed delivery helps ensure proper stent placement
• Virtually no foreshortening or elongation reduces much of the guesswork in stent sizing and placement
• Flexible delivery system allows for stent placement in difficult anatomical locations
• Low profile (7.4mm) pre-loaded delivery catheter increases clinical ease of use
