NOVATECH New Biotechnology for Life, manufacturerof TRACHEOBRONXANE ® DUMON ® silicone stents,which are considered the standard stents fortreating tracheo-bronchial stenoses, introducesTRACHEOBRONXANE ® SILMET ® , a new stent concept,ideally complementing the Dumon ® Stents for casesin which silicone stents are not indicated.Silmet ® is a self-expandable stent made of nitinol.Due to the special mesh structure together withthe silicone covered nitinol wire, the stent is highlyresistent to compression.For improved intraoperative visualization, Silmet ®has radiopaque gold markers.Two versions are available: covered and noncovered.Silmet ® comes sterile in a large variety of sizes.Custom stents are available.TRACHEOBRONXANE ®SILMET ®TRACHEOBRONXANE ®SILMET ®THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STENTSSilmet ® MCS - Metallic Covered SymmetricSilmet ® MNC - Metallic Non-CoveredSilmet ® SM - Metallic Customized StentFEATURES• self-expandable• highly resistent to compression• covered or non-covered• sterile• large variety of sizes available• custom stents availableCUSTOM STENTS (SILMET ® SM)Size• individual stent length• tapered and hourglass shape stents availableCover• individual length and place of cover(asymmetric cover available)• stents with two different covers• fully covered stentsMesh• mesh length extendable (normal length = 5mm,extendable up to 10mm), for example forimproved collateral ventilationLaboratoire National d’Essais (France)Report No B0900838/CQPE/1 of 26 October 2001Contactdistance(mm)Charge in NewtonsB090838/1maincompetitorN o LNEB090838/2SilmetForce (N)1 0.2 0.12 0.5 0.73 0.8 1.34 1.0 1.95 1.2 2.76 1.5 3.543,532,521,510,50Silmetmain competitorThe results obtaineddepending on thedistance between thetwo compression platesshow a better resistanceof the NOVATECH product(Silmet ® ) than the otherevaluated product (maincompetitor). 1)1 2 3 4 5 6Contact distance (mm)1)LNE, Laboratoire National d’Essais,Rapport n° B0900838/CQPE/1 du 26 octobre 2001Group 1FT 064E/1NOVATECH SANew Biotechnology for LifeZ.I.

TRACHEOBRONXANE ® Silmet ® insideits placement system. The bluering facilitates proximallocation duringplacement.TRACHEOBRONXANE ® SILMET ®MCS - METALLIC COVERED STENTSilmet ® MCS is the standardstent if a silicone stent cannotbe used.The Polyester cover preventstumor ingrowth. Even in caseof benign stenoses NOVATECHstrongly recommends placingSilmet ® MCS which is easy toremove due to its cover.NOVATECH offers a large choice of diameters andcover lengths. TRACHEOBRONXANE ® Silmet ® MCS isavailable with diameters between 6 and 26 mm in 1mm increments. The standard mesh length is 5 mmand the cover leaves 5 mm of mesh at each end ofthe stent uncovered.MNC - METALLIC NON-COVEREDLike Silmet ® MCS, the standardmesh length is 5 mm.TRACHEOBRONXANE ® Silmet ®MNC is availabe in diametersbetween 6 and 26 mm in 1mm increments, and in lengthsof 10 to 140 mm in 5 mmincrements.SM - METALLIC CUSTOMIZED STENT*Specific indications may require custom made stents.Tracheobronxane ® Silmet ® SM can be customizedin various manners: Size, Cover and Mesh may beadapted.This can be an advantage in cases when previouslytwo different stents (one covered, one uncovered)were necessary. Now, one single Silmet ® SM canbe placed, which could have one or several coversaccording to physicians specifications.All customized Silmet ® stentsmay be uncovered, or have oneor more covers or may even becovered completely (ILL. 1 and2). A complete cover minimizesas much as possible the risk oftumor ingrowth.Silmet ® SM may also come withseveral different diametersin order to give the stent atapered (ILL. 3) or hourglassshape.Seeking the best possiblecollateral ventilation, SilmetSM can come with a mesh sizeof 5 mm (standard) or 10mmfor increased ventilation anda reduced risk of mucousaccumulation.Please contact us for a specialorder form for Tracheo–bronxane ® Silmet ® SM.ILL. 1ILL. 2Customization:A straight stent,completely coveredCustomization:A tapered stent,completely coveredA.C.B.D.ILL. 4by courtesy of Dr. DUTAU, Ste.
