Polymer-metal biliary stents are tubular implants designed to relieve blockages in the biliary ducts, such as the common bile duct, by keeping the passage open. Made from a metal mesh lined with synthetic polymer, these stents prevent tissue growth and allow for easier removal when needed, often deployed using a balloon catheter or self-expanding mechanism.
These devices are typically classified as medical implants and may require regulatory approval depending on the jurisdiction. They are generally supplied as single-use, disposable items, though accessories like delivery systems may be reusable. Always check local regulations for classification and compliance requirements before use.
