From Which Medical Device

This biodegraedable stent from Medtronic has a double helical shape and is said to allow the bile/pancreatic fluid to flow around the outside of the stent.

There are two varieties, a fast degrading and a slow degrading profile although they do not state the likely degradation time period.

It is available in 2mm-3.4mm diameter with delivery varying between 6F and approx 10F

It comes in lengths of 40mm to 125mm
