Operational changes: To understand the power of the thread 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 2015) aim to explain operational changes with this innovation. 
 
 

Operational changes by using JFil® and MiniJFil® (5' 18").

To date, we have the experience of nearly 700 JFil® and MiniJFil®. The MiniJFil® stent is a revolution for the stone treatment. It allows dilatation of the ureter, removing fragments often painless, and treatment of large stones. Undoubtedly, the stent tolerance and the clearance of stone are improved with MiniJFil®.
