The VisionAir 3D Stent (Patient-Specific Silicone Airway Stent) is comprised of a cloud-based software suite and the patient-specific airway stent. These two function together as a system to treat symptomatic stenosis of the airway per the indications for use. The implantable patient-specific airway stent is designed by a physician using a CT scan as a guide in the cloud-based software suite. The airway is segmented from the CT scan and used by the physician in designing a patient-specific stent. When design is complete, the stent is manufactured via silicone injection into a 3D-printed mold and delivered to the treating physician non-sterile, to be sterilized before use.
A non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted into the trachea and/or a bronchus/bronchiole to maintain luminal patency, typically used in cases of obstructions/stenoses, fistulae, tumours, scarring, surgical resection and anastomosis, or pulmonary transplantation. It is made entirely of a synthetic polymer(s) [e.g., silicone] and may have various designs (e.g., semi-soft continuous tube, covered or non-covered mesh structure, straight or branched configuration) intended to conform to the endotracheal/endobronchial surface. It may be expandable in situ (e.g., self-expands) and disposable devices intended to assist implantation may be included.
