FerX-ELLA Esophageal Stent BOUBELLA is intended for relieving malignant esophageal strictures, especially in the middle and lower part of the esophagus. If the stent is deployed in lower part of the esophagus close to the cardia, it can be equipped with an anti-reflux valve to prevent gastric juices reflux. Implantation of the stent over-the-wire can be performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

- The segments that FerX-ELLA Esophageal Stent – Boubella is made of guarantee an excellent expansion force and sufficiently high flexibility. The Boubella stent is equipped with an anti-migration segment at the proximal end of the stent. This segment should always be located above the upper margin of the stenosis, in the healthy tissue.

- A patient with implanted FerX-ELLA Esophageal Stent should eat semi-solid food and drink plenty of liquid.
- The stent shortening during the deployment is minimal. This facilitates proper stent placement.
- Individual segments are connected with the durable thread which prevents accidental stent break-up
- After releasing even a small part of the stent do not move the sheath forward. This may damage the foil between the segments. There would be a danger of cutting off the segment of the stent.
