The Harrell Y Stent*, designed with James H. Harrell II, M.D., and the Y Stents with Posts and 1mm wall thickness allow physicians to address airway complications such as anastomosis and stenosis. The stent may also be used to minimize chronic bronchial strictures due to tuberculosis and malignancies. The posts help prevent migration of the stent after placement. Inserted endoscopically, the specially designed bifurcated tracheobronchial tube fits snugly into the distal trachea, the carina and the proximal bronchi.
Fabricated of flexible, biocompatible implant-grade silicone, the Harrell Y Stent and Y Stent with Posts and 1mm wall thickness allow humidification and phonation.
The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual, which is supplied with each product, provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.
* Designed with assistance from James H. Harrell II, M.D. University of California at San Diego
