High-seated oesophageal stenoses place special demands on the stent. Stent positioning in this extremely sensitive area just under the pharynx can result in unpleasant irritative stress for the patient. The Softcup oesophagus stent from MICRO-TECH is equipped with a particularly soft proximal stent end, which makes the stent more tolerable for the patient. In order to perform positioning of the stent as precisely as possible, the stent is preloaded on the high-precision PRODIS introducer. This guarantees reliable release and simultaneously leaves the choice open to the user as to whether the stent should be released from the proximal towards the distal direction (PROximal release) or from the distal towards the proximal direction (DIStal release)
SOFTCUP OESOPHAGUS STENT
INCREASED COMFORT FOR PATIENTS WITH HIGH-SEATED STENOSES
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS
- Nitinol mesh with atraumatic ends
- Proximal Softcup design
- Excellent positional stability, high radial force
- Resistant and elastic covering
- Complete covering
- High radiopacity
- Extraction threads for removal and repositioning

SUCCESSFUL IN PRACTICAL USE
The Softcup oesophagus stent is completely covered and reduces the irritative stress for the patient with its particularly soft short proximal tulip and complete covering. Its special design and the high radial force render the stent extremely positionally stable and ensure a very snug fit on the oesophageal wall. The good radiopacity and additional X-ray markings at significant points also facilitate orientation during stent placement.

MAXIMUM HOLD, MAXIMUM COMFORT
The special design of the Softcup oesophagus stent ensures excellent positional stability and is gentle on the patient at the same time. The soft end reduces the unpleasant sensation of carrying a foreign body in the oesophagus and enables a high proximal positioning.
