DV Stent Tracheal typically degrades in the human body within 2–4 months, which reduces the number of medical interventions and hospital visits. The stent is made of polydioxanone, a biodegradable polymer used in medicine for more than 30 years in the form of surgical suture material.  

The integrity and radial force of the stent are maintained for 6–8 weeks after implantation; thereafter, the radial force gradually decreases until the material fully degrades within 2–4 months.

The pH value affects the stent degradation process. In the human body, degradation tends to be slower under neutral pH but accelerates in acidic pH.

Low migration is ensured by the uncovered stent design.

Polydioxanone is not visible under X-ray imaging; therefore, gold radiopaque markers are placed at both ends of the stent.

The stent is MRI-compatible (“MR Conditional”) at static magnetic field strengths of 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla.
