Colon and Rectum Stents

The OTW (over-the-wire) colonic and rectal stents of Micro-Tech have a particularly high positional stability. In the OTW colonic stents this is achieved via a square-edged transition, situated near each end of the stent. This anchors the stent inside the lumen and adapts it optimally to the anatomy and peristalsis of the colon. In contrast, rectal stents are less stimulating and hence more “ball-shaped”, ensuring the patient experiences less irritations in this sensitive area, therefore increasing quality of life.

The partially sheathed OTW colonic and rectal stents produce very high radial forces, therefore they should be placed into straight segments of the colon, and not into the bent segments, such as the right and left flexure of the colon.
