A non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in an obstructed biliary duct (e.g., common bile duct) to maintain luminal patency; it is not intended for vascular implantation. It may be a mesh structure or a continuous tube and is made entirely of metal [e.g., high-grade stainless steel, cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr), nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)].
