Usually the treatment requires only local anesthesia.
Pain levels vary from patient to patient. Often the patient feels discomfort when the stent and warm water is introduced, rather than pain. In this case anastellic gel is often used rather than local anaesthesia.
Normally the treatment is gentle and without significant pain after, but patients may experience a bit of irritation and blood in the urine after the treatment.
Normally the patient returns directly to his or her daily activities after the insertion with resting period.
Usually no wound needs to heal as the stent in most cases is inserted through the urinary tract. Blood in the urine may appear afterwards.
It is advised not to perform any aggressive physical exercise up to two weeks after the insertion. Patients and doctors should be aware not to use a catheter exceeding 12 CH in case of e.g. emergency.
The stent surface does not contain nickel why there is no risk of nickel-allergy.
The regular practice is to follow up the day after the insertion (e.g. over the phone) to ensure sufficient outflow, then after one month and again every six months.
Drinking plenty of water is believed to lessen risk of stent encrustation. If encrusted the stent can be easily exchanged with a new one or removed altogether.
Dilatation is normally not done with MK028. If hesitant between sizes always choose the longer stent.
The insertion technique is simple and is learnt by some after the first time. Either way, our product specialists will accompany you, until you are completely confident with inserting on your own.
Usually the treatment requires only local anesthesia, but general or spinal is necessary if VIU is needed.
Usually the local anesthesia will protect against pain. If general or spinal anesthesia is necessary, the patient is unlikely to feel pain.

Drinking plenty of water is believed to lessen risk of stent encrustation. If encrusted the stent can be easily exchanged with a new one or removed altogether.
Risk of migration can be minimized in some cases by avoiding dilation above 26 CH when needed. If hesitant between sizes always choose the longer stent.

Usually the treatment requires only local anesthesia, but general or spinal is necessary if VIU is needed.
With general or spinal anesthesia, the patient is unlikely to feel pain.
Normally the treatment is gentle and without significant pain after, but patients may experience a bit of irritation and blood in the urine after the treatment.
Normally the patient returns directly to his or her daily activities after the insertion with resting period.
With retrograde insertion through the urinary tract, no wounds need healing. With antegrade insertion a percutaneous wound will need healing.
It is advised not to perform any aggressive physical exercise up to two weeks after the insertion.
The stent surface does not contain nickel why there is no risk of nickel-allergy.
Follow-up is critical to confirm sufficient urinary outflow. It is typically done through renography or x-ray and should be timed based on patient history.
Drinking plenty of water is believed to lessen risk of stent encrustation. If encrusted the stent can be easily exchanged with a new one or removed altogether.
For PUJ-cases a higher rate of migration should be expected. Also, in case balloon dilatation is needed for insertion, avoid dilatation above 14 CH.
