Westaby T-Y Stent

The Hood Westaby T-Y Stent* combines bifurcated and T limbs in a single tube to hood-labsrestore patency of major airways and to provide relief from asphyxia.

Manufactured of medical-grade radiopaque silicone, the stent is flexible, comfortable and non-reactive to tissue, ensuring safe and effective relief within the distal trachea, carina and main bronchi.

The stent has been used in patients with severe and diffuse scalding injury to the trachea and main bronchi, and with obstruction from tracheal and mediastinal tumors below the thoracic inlet.
