What is the stentFIX System?
The stentFIX System is an innovative solution for fixing metal stents in the digestive tract and can be used for both self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS).
The stentFIX System is specially designed to meet the requirements of stent fixation. Its compact design allows it to be inserted through stents with a diameter of 18 mm or more, enabling the stents to be fixed both proximally and distally. The cap allows easy positioning at the edge of the stent, ensuring optimal engagement with the stent mesh and tissue. The design of the clip adapts perfectly to the gastrointestinal anatomy. This effectively prevents stent migration.
The clip is made of super-elastic Nitinol® and exerts a constant force on the tissue in the application area, thus securing the positioning of the stent. In addition, the clip is biocompatible and conditionally MR safe and can remain in the body as a long-term implant.
