FDA approves ConvertX Biliary Stent System for bile duct obstructions

The FDA approved the ConvertX Biliary Stent System for the treatment of biliary obstructions, according to a press release from BrightWater Medical.

The ConvertX Biliary Stent System was designed to provide interventional radiologists with a percutaneous plastic biliary stent option that enables stent release in less than 1 minute during an in-office visit or at bedside. It also eliminates the need for the second invasive procedure and its associated risks, cost and time.
