The Hood Westaby T-Y Stent combines bifurcated and T limbs in a single tube to restore patency of major airways and to provide relief from asphyxia.

Manufactured of implant-grade radiopaque silicone, the stent is flexible, comfortable and non-reactive to tissue, ensuring safe and effective relief within the distal trachea, carina and main bronchi.

The stent has been used in patients with severe and diffuse scalding injury to the trachea and main bronchi, and with obstruction from tracheal and mediastinal tumors below the thoracic inlet.

• Aids in short-term management of airway obstructions from tracheal tumors, compression, burns or disease below the thoracic inlet
• Enables normal breathing through nose and mouth
• Permits healing and prevents desiccation
• Biocompatible implant-grade silicone
• Y-Angle anatomically designed to fit typical carina
• 20° angle in T-stem facilitates insertion and cleaning

The Westaby T-Y Stents 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.
