Polymeric vaginal stent, non-bioabsorbable

Definition

A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended for long-term placement in the vagina to provide structural support and/or prevent shrinking. It is typically used for vaginal dilation following surgical or non-surgical treatment of vaginal agenesis or transgender vaginoplasty, or for the prevention of vaginal contracture or stenosis after radiotherapy. It is made of a synthetic polymer(s) [e.g., silicone] and may have various designs (e.g., inflatable tubular envelope with valves and internal drains, semi-soft moulded tube). This is a single-patient use device that can be reapplied to the patient during the treatment period (e.g., nightly) before being discarded (reusable).
