A stent produced by Natick-based medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific has met European Union quality standards.
The WallFlex Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent is made of braided wire, which helps hold its form, but is also flexible to conform to a patient’s need. It also maximizes visibility to help doctors check up on the stent.
The product has not yet been approved for use in the United States. The company will be showcasing the product at a gastroenterology conference in Spain next week.
