The Gyrus Double Pigtail Ureteral Stent (#5606028) is a hydrophilic-coated, radiopaque stent designed to provide temporary internal drainage from the ureteropelvic junction to the bladder. Its double pigtail configuration features curled ends at both the renal and bladder sides to prevent migration and ensure secure positioning. This stent is commonly used to relieve ureteral obstructions caused by stones, strictures, tumors, or post-surgical swelling, and can be placed using endoscopic, percutaneous, or open surgical techniques.
