Medtronic Protege GPS Nitinol Biliary Stent System - Biliary Stent with Tantalum Marker, Self-Expanding, Nitinol - SERB65-14-80-80

Protege Self-Expanding Nitinol Biliary Stent System - The On-Target Stent Placement System.The Protege self-expanding Biliary Stent System is a self-expanding Nitinol stent system designed for the palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. The stent is made of a nickel titanium alloy (Nitinol) and comes pre-mounted on a 6F over-the-wire delivery system. The stent is cut from a Nitinol tube into an open lattice design and has tantalum radiopaque markers at the proximal and distal ends of the stent. Upon deployment, the stent achieves its predetermined diameter and exerts a constant, outward force to establish patency in the biliary ducts.
