Anti-Reflux Esophageal Stents

Bypass of the cardia with a stent results in gastroesphageal reflux. In order to prevent the latter and thereby minimise the risk of bronchopulmonary aspirations, the Anti-Reflux Esophageal Stents from MICRO-TECH is equipped with a unique valve system.

The revolutionary aspect of the valve is its 2-way function which imitates the human protective mechanism perfectly. On the one hand, it allows food and liquids to enter the stomach unimpeded and reliably prevents reflux. On the other, it opens in the oral direction in case of excessive pressure. The patient can therefore obtain relief by vomiting in spite of the valve. The valve is particularly flexible and, at the same time, highly resistant to gastric acid.
