The VacStent GI™ combines two reliable methods for the treatment of leakage and anastomotic insufficiency: while the fully encased stent completely covers the defects, the wound cavity is drained by continuous suction. In addition, the sponge supports the formation of granulation tissue. One advantage of this procedure is that it preserves oesophageal/intestinal passage. The VacStent GI™ is preloaded on a flexible introducer, which not only shortens the time required for the treatment but also makes it much more comfortable than the traditional method of treating a wound cavity.
