Tracheobronxane™ Dumon®
The Tracheobronxane™ Dumon® Silicone Stent is the original design, patented worldwide and used successfully to treat tracheal and bronchial obstructions and stenoses. The stents are made from implant-grade silicone suitable for long-term placement and are considered the “golden standard to which all others should be compared”.1)

The material is flexible enough to allow for atraumatic insertion and placement, yet will seek its original shape following placement, providing the force necessary to correct extrinsic compression of the trachea or bronchus.
Indications
- Tracheobronchial tumors
- Tracheal stenoses with scarring
- Bronchial stenoses following surgical resection and anastomosis
- Bronchial stenoses following pulmonary trans–plantation
Features
Anti-migration stud system
Anti-migration stud system
A well adapted Tracheobronxane™ Dumon® silicone stent does not migrate. The patented stud design aids in preventing migration by naturally fixing the stent between the cartilaginous rings of the trachea. Cough reflexes are inhibited by reflex centre saturation. The studs limit direct contact between the stent surface and the mucosa, and distribute compressive forces evenly among the small stud surfaces.

Material
- Implant grade silicone
Application
- Placement and removal with a rigid bronchoscope. Novatech advises the use of the
Tonn / Novatech applicator to safely place Dumon® Stents.
The Tracheobronxane™ Dumon® Silicone Stent is sold sterile. Non sterile stents are available upon request.
Perfect adaption
The key condition for perfect tolerance of the stents is to use a stent which is perfectly adapted to the patient’s needs. For this reason, it is essential to have an entire basic line of different stent types, diameters and lengths available to be prepared for any situation.
