Patient comfort is the number one priority of any healthcare professional. However, in patients who underwent a ureteral stent placement, the chance of developing bladder irritation caused by stent intolerance is real. How can you as an Urologist minimize that chance?
Increase patient comfort by using a ureteral suture stent
A Preliminary Study
Recently, a study was conducted to examine the link between ureteral inflammation and the amount of material in the bladder (healthy or fitted with a double-pigtail stent or a thread). The results were significant as the study has shown that the double-pigtail stent induced ureteral inflammation in all the patients involved in the study and that the thin 0.3 F suture thread caused less ureteral inflammation. We can therefore conclude that a reduction of the material leads to a decrease of bladder irritation.

New Ureteral Stent Generation with No Bladder Loop
The JFil® stent is characterised by its simplicity. It uses a thin suture thread (0.3F) instead of a bladder loop, which reduces the amount of material in the bladder significantly causing less inflammation and renal reflux compared to the double-pigtail alternative.
Many patients have been relieved of their inconveniences by this innovation. In the video below you can view a testimony of a patient who received a JFil® stent. As a result, he was able to pick up his life again without pain and discomfort.
