Rely on a proven solution for bridging airway stenoses at the carina: the Carina-Y-Stent from MICRO-TECH. First developed in 2006, it has since been continuously refined. Our many years of experience with this specialised stent design are reflected in every detail of the product. The angled Y-shape ensures stable positioning and secure placement in stenoses of the trachea and main bronchi – especially at the carina. The specially developed introducer system enables precise and controlled application. Its ergonomically designed structure allows for comfortable and safe handling, while colour-coded olive tips and pull rings provide additional orientation during the release of the two bronchial arms.

SUCCESSFUL PRACTICAL USE
When using the Y-stent from MICRO-TECH, the trachea, both main bronchi and the carina area can be reliably bypassed and sealed. In doing so, the covered Nitinol mesh adapts to the anatomy ideally. The excellent radiopacity of the stent and the additional radiopaque markers at significant orientation points ensure precise positioning.
