Problem
Symptomatic stenosis of the airway can be challenging to treat effectively due to variations in patient anatomy, potentially leading to complications and reduced quality of life. Traditional airway stents may not always conform precisely to the patient's unique anatomy, impacting stent longevity and requiring frequent interventions.
Solution
VisionAir Solutions provides patient-specific silicone airway stents manufactured using a proprietary 3D printing process. Physicians can design stents tailored to individual patient airway anatomies using CT scan data. The AI-powered VisionAir 3D Stent Software facilitates the design process, allowing for the creation of customized stents that conform precisely to the patient's anatomy. These patient-matched stents aim to improve stent life, increase the time between interventions, reduce complications, and enhance overall patient quality of life in cases of Central Airway Obstruction (CAO).
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional pulmonologists and hospitals treating patients with symptomatic stenosis of the airway and Central Airway Obstruction (CAO).
