Stening® Y Paediatric

Code YP4

The Stening® Y Paediatric —also known as a paediatric Y stent or paediatric tracheo-carino-bronchial stent (YP4)— performs functions similar to the adult version, although its dimensions are clearly smaller.

With thin walls and great plasticity, it conducts air through its bifurcation toward the main bronchi. It has no external anchors and its fixation is exclusively anatomical.

Implantation

To place the Stening® YP4 it is necessary to introduce the prosthesis inside a bronchoscope, bringing its bronchial branches together.

Then the trachea is intubated with the bronchoscope until it stops near the main carina, and the prosthesis is pushed from inside the bronchoscope with a forceps. Other useful introduction methods have been described.

Removal

Intubation is performed with a tracheoscope. Removal is simpler: the stent must be grasped by its proximal edge with strong forceps and withdrawn gently by pulling on it, extracting the prosthesis together with the tracheoscope.

Post-implant care

Recommendations for the follow-up of the paediatric patient with a stent.

  • Frequent nebulizations when secretions are present.
  • Periodic check-ups according to medical criteria.

Warning of use

Important

The device must not be reused, as it could cause cross-contamination.
