Patent

CA 2659735

A stent (10) is provided that is able to resist clogging from cumulative matter found within a fluid that passes therethrough. The stent includes a mass (13) moveably disposed therein, wherein movement of the stent tends to dislodge any cumulative matter accumulated within the stent. As a result, the device is able to remain resident within the patient for an extended period of time before becoming clogged and needing to be replaced.

L'invention concerne un stent capable de résister au blocage causé par une accumulation de matière dans un fluide qui passe à travers le stent. Le stent comprend une masse se déplaçant librement, le mouvement du stent ayant tendance à déloger toute matière accumulée à l'intérieur. Le dispositif peut donc rester à l'intérieur du patient sur une période de temps prolongée avant de se boucher et d'être remplacé.
