RPS (Round Posterior Stent)

Large Caliber, fully covered, a great alternative for bladder neck contracture.

The use of Allium’s Round Posterior Stent (RPS) System is indicated for the management of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) in adult males
It is intended for the use in obstructions to provide long-term relief following:

• Radical Prostatectomies (Anastomotic strictures)
• TURP or similar BPH procedures (Bladder neck strictures)

The Allium Round Posterior Urethral Stent is comprised of a super-elastic structure, fully covered by a proprietary co-polymer. After dilation, inserting the stent into the posterior urethra causes stent radial force opposition vs. bladder neck occlusion. RPS’ implantation provides immediate relief of symptoms and urine flow. During the entire indwelling period of up to 3 years the stent maintains an open lumen & prevents tissue ingrowth.

Product Models

• Delivery system – the RPS is mounted on a rigid deployment system of 24Fr
• Stent lengths available: 30mm, 40 mm with 45Fr caliber.

The RPS is a minimal invasive solution that can be used in a simple 15-minute procedure. It is a minimally invasive alternative to more invasive treatment options, when bladder neck or anastomotic strictures are presented. RPS stent could be curative with up to 80% success resolution of benign obstructions, based on recent publications** (indicate references – Melich + Neymeyer& Alkan), which also refer to long follow up period.
