Flexible tracheo-carino-bronchial prosthesis for supporting tracheal bifurcation and carinal angle, able to maintain ventilation through the main bronchi in very advanced obstructive conditions.
Indications:
Tracheal neoplasms.
Long tracheobronchial neoplasm, with or without a compromise for the carina and/or its slopes.
Neoplasms that affect both sources.
Esophageal carcinoma with an airway invasion.
Tracheoesophageal or tracheocutaneous fistula.
After laser resection, cryotherapy or electrocautery, to maintain the airway opened.
Extrinsic compression or compromise of the submucosa.
Tracheal stenosis.
Tracheobronchial stenosis.
Tracheobronchomalacia.
Amyloidosis.
Excessive dynamic compression of the airway.
Features:
Medical grade silicone
Bevelled edges to prevent granulomas
Spur system to prevent migration
Removable
Surface of maximum softness to avoid adherence of secretions
Transparent or Radiopaque
Cares:
Despite its size, the Stening® Y stent are well-tolerated. However, its larger length increases the difficulty of getting rid of secretions, and even more when the cough is not effective. Perform nebulisations frequently and if you notice an increase on bronchial secretions attend your kinesiologist daily.
The appearance of excessive cough may suggest an unwanted touch of only one or both stent bronchial branches with the inflamed bronchial mucosa. If the symptom persists or becomes irrepressible in spite of the anti-inflammatory treatment, removing the stent may be necessary and then introduce a new one with the bronchial branches length shortened.
Take care of your oral hygiene and treat cavities.
