STENT DEVICES AND METHODS TO INCREASE PATENCY OF A BODY OPENING

A stent formed of a radially-outwardly expandable material to exert a radially expansive force to inhibit migration. The stent includes a retention member configured to retain the stent in place relative to the body lumen in which the stent is placed. The retention member may further contribute to i...

Zusammenfassung:	A stent formed of a radially-outwardly expandable material to exert a radially expansive force to inhibit migration. The stent includes a retention member configured to retain the stent in place relative to the body lumen in which the stent is placed. The retention member may further contribute to inhibiting migration of the stent and/or tissue at which the stent is deployed. Various features may be provided on the retention member to adapt the stent for use with a stoma and/or ostomy appliances or other particular locations in the body benefiting from the stent.
