Y Stent
The Hood Y Stent is designed to relieve airway complications such as anastomosis and 
stenosis following lung transplant. The stent may also be used to minimize chronic bronchial strictures due to tuberculosis and malignancies.
Inserted endoscopically, the specially designed bifurcated tracheobronchial tube fits snugly into the distal trachea, the carina and the proximal bronchi. Fabricated of flexible, biocompatible, medical-grade silicone, the Y stent allows normal humidification and phonation.
The Hood Intended Use and Instruction Manual provides detailed information on insertion technique, sterilization, and postoperative care.
