Allium - Round Posterior Stent (RPS)

It is intended for use in the following obstructions to provide temporary relief developing following:

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

The Allium Round Posterior Urethral Stent is comprised of a super-elastic structure, which fully covered and embedded in a co-polymer. By inserting the stent into the posterior urethra of these patient an immediate widening of the occlusion is achieved allowing an immediate urine flow. During the indwelling period of up to 3 years the stent maintains an open lumen, prevents ingrowth and provides a good passage of urine flow.

As with all the other Allium stents the following benefits are also applicable to the RPS stent implant:

• Long indwelling time of up to 3 years
• An easy Fluoroscopic insertion and positioning
• Anatomical design
• Large lumen
• Excellent patient comfort
• Excellent voiding control and a functional external sphincter
• prevents tissue in-growth
• Easily removable

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. As with all the other Allium stents, the RPS is a reversible stent that can be removed without influencing the anatomy of the patient.

• Long indwelling time of
• up to 3 years
• Preservation of sexual function
• Excellent voiding control
• Easy insertion under topical anesthesia
• Excellent patient comfort
• Easy stent removal
