AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional ureteral stents often cause patient discomfort due to improper fit and migration, requiring multiple stent sizes and lengths, leading to increased inventory and potential trauma during procedures.
Method used
A controlled extension stent design featuring filaments wound in adjacent groups of coils that can expand or contract to accommodate varying anatomies, with a dissolvable coating to enhance flexibility and reduce irritation.
Benefits of technology
The stent provides comfort by adjusting to patient movement, reducing irritation and migration, while the dissolvable coating aids in delivery and flexibility post-implantation, improving procedural efficiency and patient comfort.
