Oesophageal strictures close to the cardia require a specific stent design. The cardia umbrella stents have a umbrella designed distal end which significantly reduces irritations at the great curve of the stomach and prevent an in- or overgrow of tumor into the stent.

Practical application

All cardia umbrella stents are preloaded on the new reload introducer system. For correction of the stent position the stent can be reloaded into the introducer system during the procedure. The excellent radiopacity tantalum markers makes the stents clearly visible in the x-ray picture.
