Why are Custom Airway Stents Important for Neonates?
Neonates with airway obstructions face significant health risks, including respiratory distress and failure to thrive. Custom airway stents provide a critical intervention by ensuring a stable airway, thus facilitating adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Given the delicate and variable anatomy of neonates, off-the-shelf stents may not always be suitable, making custom solutions essential.
