Bronchial Stent with Posts (anchoring studs) are also available for physicians who prefer the anchoring studs over the rings on the original design. Inserted endoscopically, both ends of the tube are flanged to prevent movement after surgical placement in the bronchus. Fabricated of flexible, biocompatible, implant-grade silicone, the bronchial stent allows normal humidification and phonation. The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.

Bronchial Stents with Posts have the Ultra-Smooth Plus® surface treatment. The proprietary technology modifies the surface properties of silicone. Ultra-Smooth Plus® treated silicone is thromboresistant, resistant to biofilm germination and bacterial and fungal growth, and has less surface friction.
