Bare-metal peripheral venous stents are tubular metal implants designed to keep veins open in patients with blocked or narrowed blood flow, particularly in the iliac and femoral veins. They are inserted via catheter and expand within the vein to restore proper circulation, often used when other treatments like medication or angioplasty fail.
These devices are typically regulated as medical implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are usually supplied sterile and pre-loaded in delivery systems, requiring specialized training for proper placement. Radiopaque markers help ensure accurate positioning during procedures.
