Vortek® Ureteral Stents
Vortek® ureteral stents are the desirable go-to stent for drainage of the urinary tract and healing of the ureter. Vortek® ureteral stents feature a stiff inner layer that aids in insertion over a guidewire and a soft outer layer that promotes patient comfort. The hydrophilic-coated Vortek® Hydro further aids in insertion by improving the glide between the stent and epithelial layer of the ureter.
