“Cook Black Silicone showed the greatest resistance to encrustation with the smallest weight gain and the longest indwelling time without significant surface encrustation.”1
Our mainstay, everyday stent, the Black Silicone Filiform Double Pigtail Ureteral Stent Set, was recently included in an 11-week, 5-stent benchtop study to evaluate encrustation resistance—and it received positive marks as the top performer.
“Among all the tested stents, Black Silicone performed the best.”
