Description
Temperature-responsive disposable ureteral stents designed to soften within approximately 3–5 minutes at body temperature to support urinary drainage and improve dwell-time tolerance.
- Temperature-responsive disposable ureteral stent
- Softens at body temperature in approximately 3–5 minutes
- Large lumen with multiple side holes for drainage
- Smooth, resilient polymer construction
- Designed for up to 1 month of indwelling use
Product Overview
MinStent™ ureteral stents are temperature-responsive disposable stents intended for temporary urinary drainage when reliable flow and improved patient tolerance are important clinical considerations. The medical-grade polymer construction softens at body temperature within approximately 3–5 minutes, helping reduce ureteral mucosal irritation while maintaining the handling characteristics needed for routine placement.
The stent features a large lumen and multiple side holes to support unobstructed drainage during short-term indwelling use. Its smooth, resilient profile is designed to balance safety, drainage performance, and procedural familiarity in everyday urology practice.
Clinical Applications
Clinicians may use MinStent™ for temporary ureteral drainage following endourology procedures, for short-term support of ureteral patency, or in cases where urinary diversion is needed during recovery and follow-up care. Ureteral stents are used to help urine pass from the kidney to the bladder when obstruction, swelling, or procedural needs make drainage support necessary.
- Temporary ureteral drainage after endoscopic urology procedures.
- Short-term support of ureteral patency during healing or follow-up.
- Urinary diversion when smooth drainage and patient tolerance are priorities.
Key Features
