The UNITY-B Endoscopic Balloon Expandable Biodegradable Biliary Stent System is designed to be used to help drain obstructed bile ducts¹ with the added benefit of biodegradation to potentially minimize the complications associated with traditional metal stents.

Enhanced Features:

‣ Can be produced in a wide range of sizes and placed with the same approach used for traditional balloon expandable metallic stents.
‣ Biodegradable nature of the UNITY-B stent is intended to mitigate stent in-growth, over-growth and perforation typically seen with traditional metallic stents.
‣ Intended to eliminate the need for stent removal or replacement.
‣ Potential to be used in non-conforming strictures and designed to be over-dilated for luminal wall conformance without fracturing.

Musculoskeletal Stent System:

The UNITY-B biodegradable stent was designed based on the functionality of Musculoskeletal System (Bone and Muscle) where the magnesium mimics the bone and the polymer the muscle. The Skeletal (Magnesium) portion of the system serves as the main support structure while the Muscle (Polymer) helps to support movement and stability potentially eliminating many of the short comings found in 1st generation biodegradable technology.
