Stent Loading System

Fold, load, place – simple and practical

Easy handling is just one of the advantages of the new stent loading system. With this instrument set, silicone stents of different sizes can easily be folded and loaded into a rigid tracheoscope.

It works best with the "TEXAS" optical tracheobronchoscope and the new 300 mm tracheoscope tube designed especially for interventions.

Scale markings along the entire sheath make it easy to measure the length of a stenosis or tissue growth, so the correct stent length can be determined.

Because the telescope is integrated directly into the TEXAS tracheobronchoscope, the system now offers the unique ability to place all kinds of Dumon and silicone stents under visual control.

The new stent loading system is available in two sizes. The smaller system easily folds small Y-stents or tracheal and bronchial stents up to size 15 (with or without studs) and loads them into a 14 mm tracheoscope tube. The new large system is for silicone stents of size 15 and above.

Loading and placing silicone stents under visual control

Inserting the stent
For tracheal or bronchial stents, insert the positioning rod into the lumen. For Y-stents, fold in both legs.
Folding the stent
Push the guide rail toward the half-pipe guide with very little force, and the stent folds automatically. Simply push the color-coded pusher until it touches the stent to hold it in place.
Loading into the tube
Apply plenty of lubricant, introduce the loading system with the folded stent into the end of the tracheoscope tube and deposit the stent from the loading system.
Position in the tube
The stent now sits in the tube below the telescope, with an unrestricted field of view, so the user can continue working under visual control.
Placing a tracheal or bronchial stent
When the desired position is reached, push the stent forward
