Injury of the upper airway commonly results in stenotic lesions of the larynx, subglottis, and adjacent trachea. The Hood Hour Glass Stents with Posts offer physicians an excellent alternative to the traditional approach of surgical correction and YAG laser. The device is placed in the trachea at the point of stenosis as a pallative technique for tumors causing extrinsic compression of the large airway. It may also be used for patients with benign tracheostenosis.
