The Inlay ureteral stent offers many advantages. Its tapered tip and lubricious coating promote smooth insertion and effective negotiation around obstructions. It has a hydrophilic coating which when activated, creates a 'cushion' between the stent and tissue for smooth, frictionless insertion. In addition, the stent softens up to 50% at body temperature, promoting enhanced comfort and minimal friction. The stent comes individually packaged in a single-use, sterile configuration.
