– Innovative coating technology: A newly developed coating significantly reduces crystalline deposits (encrustations) and infections and addresses key limitations of conventional ureteral stents. A significant advance in the treatment of patients with ureteral stents was announced today by UroNova GmbH in Baiersdorf, Germany. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either a coated (study group) or uncoated ureteral stent (control group)of the same model. Neither the clinical staff nor the patients were informed about the type of ureteral stent (double-blind study). The use of the newly developed coated ureteral stent can significantly reduce these problems in terms of patient-centered care.
