The history of the
development of JFil®
and MiniJFil®
stents
Updated:
July 2017
The ureter allows
the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. Sometimes, a stone or
a tumor obstructs the ureter. To bypass the obstruction and protect the
kidney, we insert a double-pigtail stent in the ureter. But, international
medical studies estimate that 80% of patients complain of irritating symptoms
[références
1-5]. Confronted daily with the suffering
of our patients, I developed a new ureteral stent [références
6-11].
This short film (November
2014) aim to introduce you to this innovation. I’m grateful to Janine Dove-Rume
(Maître de conférences, langues et littératures anglaises
et anglo-saxonnes, Université François-Rabelais de Tours)
