The Hood Bronchial Stent is designed to relieve airway complications such as anastomosis and stenosis following lung transplant. The stent may also be used to minimize chronic bronchial strictures due to tuberculosis and malignancies.

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.
