AMStent Tracheobronchial Covered Stent System
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted marketing authorization (clearance to market in the United States as a Class II device) for Peytant Solutions Inc.’s AMStent Tracheobronchial Covered Stent System. The AMStent System, a novel, proprietary therapy platform, is indicated for use in the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms in adult patients.
The AMStent System is the first product offering within Peytant’s amnion-based covered stent platform. The system combines a minimally invasive catheter delivery system with a stent covered in a material created from amnion. Amnion has more than 100 years of clinical history, first as a transplant for eye surface reconstruction, and more recently as a therapeutic membrane for the treatment of chronic wounds and skin ulcers.
The AMStent System is designed to treat pulmonary obstructions caused by cancer. The benefits of the AMStent System, as seen in validation data, include reduced migration, reduced local inflammation and granuloma formation, and reduced mucus accumulation and occlusion.
Peytant is the pioneer in the development of human amnion-based covering for stents. https://www.peytant.com
