An innovative NiTi based stent as an emergency treatment for acute urinary retention in case of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Résumé
The aim of the work introduced is this paper is to provide a suitable solution for the emergency treatment of Acute Urinary Retention. In order to fulfil the clinical needs, this stent presents different innovative features :- at least two distinct shape memories triggered successively by increasing its temperature : (1) an extension phase to release the urethra, and (2) a contraction phase to easily remove the stent,- a bio-compatible silicone coating. This coating prevents the stent, heated using Joule effect, from damaging surrounding tissues,- a global implantation procedure suitable for emergency treatment.The double shape memory effect is achieved using NiTi shape memory alloy.
