Placement & Function

The UroLume® Urethral Stent is placed transurethrally in an outpatient setting—usually within 10 to 30 minutes. The stent is a biocompatible super alloy mesh tube that self-expands, holding the urethra open at the point of obstruction. Each stent is packaged preloaded in a specially designed delivery system that includes an optical telescope stabilizer.

For bulbar urethral stricture, the stent is placed in the bulbar urethra.

  • Stricture must be completely covered to prevent recurrence of stricture formation.
  • The stent should not be placed into penoscrotal junction, which causes patient discomfort.
  • To prevent patient incontinence, do not place the stent within 1.0 cm of the external sphincter.
