Polymeric pancreatic stent, non-bioabsorbable

Definition

A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in an obstructed pancreatic duct (e.g., due to stricture or malignancy) to maintain luminal patency; it may also be intended to treat a wide variety of conditions in pancreatic endoscopy (e.g., drain pseudocyst, treat fistula or duct disruption). It is made entirely of a synthetic polymer(s) [e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene (PE), silicone] and may have various designs (e.g., continuous tube with or without drainage side holes, covered or non-covered mesh structure). Disposable devices intended to assist implantation may be included.
