Tracheal Stent with Posts
Injury of the upper airway commonly results in stenotic lesions of the larynx, subglottis, 
and adjacent trachea. The Hood Tracheal Stent with Posts offers physicians an excellent alternative to the traditional approach of surgical correction and YAG laser resection. The device is placed in the trachea at the point of stenosis as a palliative technique for tumors causing extrinsic compression of the large airway. It may also be used for patients with benign tracheostenosis.
The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion
technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.
