Single-use pancreatic stents in PTFE for drainage of the pancreatic duct, supplied with a positioning sleeve.

In which cases?

  • An obstructed pancreatic duct drained during ERCP.
  • A ductal stricture in chronic pancreatitis stented to restore flow.
  • A high-risk ERCP where the team leaves a small-diameter stent for post-ERCP pancreatitis prophylaxis.
  • A pancreatic duct leak drained with a stent until the leak closes on its own.

What makes it different?

  • Multiple radial holes along the shaft, so an obstructed duct drains along the stent.
  • PTFE is radiopaque, so the stent is placed and later found again under fluoroscopy.
  • The positioning sleeve is in the pack, and the stent is advanced over a guidewire.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a pancreatic stent so much narrower than a biliary one?

The duct. According to the manufacturer the pancreatic duct is far narrower than the common bile duct, so the stents used in it are 5 and 7 French, and they are perforated along their diameter so drainage from the side branches is not blocked.

Which working channel does each diameter need?

The smallest accessory channel changes from model to model: the 5 French stents need 2.0 mm and the 7 French stents need 2.8 mm.
