Brief summary in lay language

Ureteral stents are often affected by biofilm formation, the growth of bacteria on the surface and encrustation, the deposition of mineral crystals onto the surface and lumen of a ureteral stent. This can create serious problems, like blockage of the ureteral stent making an emergency stent removal necessary. Ureteral stents are made from various materials, but the tendency to encrust is very similar for all of them. UroNova has developed a new coating for double J ureteral stents with bacteria repelling and encrustation suppressing properties. Goal of the study is to analyze the efficacy and advantages of the new coated ureteral stent compared to conventional ureteral stents.

Brief summary in scientific language

Biofilm formation and encrustation are the most common complications in the use of ureteral double J stents. Patients being affected by a blockage of the ureteral stent need an emergency stent removal. Ureteral stents are made from various materials, but the tendency to encrust is very similar for all of them. UroNova has developed a new coating for double J ureteral stents with bacteria repelling and encrustation suppressing properties. The coating is long-term stable, no drug elution takes place. No pharmacological agents or biocide components are used in the coating. Goal of the study is to analyze the efficacy of the new coated ureteral stent compared to conventional ureteral stents in terms of the amount of encrustation and quality of life.
