NICKEL-TITANIUM SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY MEMOKATH 051 URETERAL STENT FOR MANAGING LONG-TERM URETERAL OBSTRUCTION: 4-YEAR EXPERIENCE

Abstract

This stent seems to provide a significant benefit over conventional Double-J (Medical Engineering Corp., New York, New York) and other metallic stents. Its remarkable thermal memory permits removal, a feature that until recently was not available in any other metallic ureteral stent. Durable and complication-free decompression of the upper tract can be achieved with the Memokath 051.
