Description:
WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System and WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System by Boston Scientific Corporation
The WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent System and WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System designed by Boston Scientific Corporation are essential setups designed to provide relief by keeping the natural pathways open within digestive system.
The WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System has been engineered to assist with colonic lumens' patency, often obstructed by malignant neoplasms. It provides flexibility and position control during deployment while maintaining a strong, yet flexible structure to keep open the pathway, providing palliation in malignant large bowel obstruction.
On the other hand, the WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System is another meticulously designed device that aids in ensuring the patency of duodenal lumens constrained by malignant neoplasms. It has an exceptional design that allows it to maintain the delicate balance of strength, flexibility and efficiency, essential for dealing with obstructions ominously occurring in the first section of the small intestine - the duodenum. In short, it provides palliation in malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.
Both solutions by Boston Scientific Corporation reflect a delicate balance of functionality, patient comfort, and ease of use, providing clinicians a reliable and manageable option to take care of gastrointestinal obstructions related to malignancies. Moreover, the Anchor Lock Delivery System provides precise stent deployment and positioning, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the palliative procedures.
The devices designed by Boston Scientific Corporation demonstrate not only an advancement in medical technology, but also the company’s commitment to significantly improving patients' quality of life affected by gastrointestinal obstructions.
How It Works:
Overview
The
WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System with Anchor Lock Delivery System is a specialty tool designed for gastroenterologists who are on the lookout for sophisticated solutions in endoscopy.
Working Mechanism
The device comprises two key components: the WallFlex Colonic Stent, and the WallFlex Duodenal Stent, both equipped with the Anchor Lock Delivery System. This dual-feature system works in harmony to deal with different gastrointestinal complications. It is particularly effective in palliative procedures for certain types of malignant colonic and duodenal obstructions.
The WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent offers a semi-permanent treatment option for large bowel obstructions. It helps to restore bowel functionality and aid in
lumen patency by serving as a structural support to the constricted area.
Simultaneously, the WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System aids in the treatment of obstructive symptoms in patients with malignant gastroduodenal obstructions. It assists in
gastric outlet obstructions, improving ingestion and digestion, thereby enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
Anchor Lock Delivery System
The innovative Anchor Lock Delivery System is a critical part of the overall design. It enables clinicians to precisely deploy and reposition the stents until the situation demands, providing the much-needed safety during
endoscopic procedures. The mechanism can be manipulated under direct endoscopic and fluoroscopic visualization, ensuring optimal position and patient safety.
Materials and Design
The devices are constructed with flexible and conformable nitinol—an alloy known for its resilience and kink-resistance properties. The stents feature a full-length, radiopaque tantalum line to ensure accurate positioning. The Proximal Flare design assists in preventing tissue ingrowth, while the flare at both ends facilitates secure anchorage and mitigates the risk of stent migration.
Conclusion
The WallFlex Colonic Soft Stent System and the WallFlex Duodenal Soft Stent System, both with Anchor Lock Delivery System, offer an advanced, reliable, and wallet-friendly option for managing both colonic and duodenal obstructions. Their unique, responsive designs provide flexibility and safety, contributing significantly to patient comfort and overall experience with endoscopic procedures.
