Innovative solution for stent fixation in the digestive tract.

Use of the stentfix OTSC® System

The stentfix OTSC® System is the innovative solution for stent fixation in the digestive tract. It is a specially designed OTSC® System and labeled for the fixation of selfexpandable metallic stents (SEMS).

The round design of the stentfix OTSC® clip adapts to the gastrointestinal anatomy. Due to the modified cap shape, stentfix OTSC® can easily be aligned to the stent opening for optimal stent mesh and tissue capture by the clip.

The compact design of the stentfix OTSC® System also allows the passage through a stent (from Ø 18 mm), therefore, fixation is possible either on the proximal or distal end.

The stentfix OTSC® System

The stentfix OTSC® System consists of a specially designed application cap with a mounted clip, thread, thread retriever, and a hand wheel for clip release.

The stentfix OTSC® clip is delivered by means of an application cap mounted to the top of diagnostic gastroscopes. The clip is released by tightening the thread via hand wheel.

Use is to the rounded design, the modified clip adapts to the gastrointestinal anatomy. The stentfix OTSC® clip is included in the tissue and the stent mesh so that the stent’s fixture in the tissue can secure itself. The clip is made of superelastic Nitinol® and exerts a constant force to secure the tissue in the application area, thus securing the positioning of the stent. The stentfix OTSC® clip is biocompatible and conditionally MRI safe and can remain in the body as a long-term implant.
