Among the devices manufactured at Aster Medispro's Bangalore facility, the Double J Stent — also written as DJ stent or JJ stent — is one of the most clinically important. Small in size but significant in impact, it is a device that can protect kidney function and relieve serious pain in a matter of minutes.
The ureter is the narrow tube that carries urine from the kidney down to the bladder. When this passage becomes blocked — by a kidney stone, a tumour, scar tissue, or post-surgical swelling — urine backs up into the kidney, causing pain and, if left untreated, potentially permanent kidney damage. The Double J Stent is placed inside the ureter to restore flow.
Placement is typically performed using a cystoscope inserted through the urethra — no incisions required. The procedure usually takes under ten minutes and can provide immediate relief. Most patients carry the stent for two to six weeks, though some clinical situations require longer placements under close monitoring.
Aster Medispro manufactures Double J Stents in multiple configurations: both-end single loop, both-end multi-loop, and one-end multi-loop variants, as well as specialised designs including Tumor Stents, Endopyelotomy Stents, and Loop Stents. Each is manufactured from biocompatible materials, sterile packaged for single use, under ISO 13485:2016 and CE-certified quality systems.
For the urologist working in a district hospital in Rajasthan or a speciality centre in Dubai, the reliability of that stent matters enormously. That consistent quality — device after device, batch after batch — is the core promise behind Aster Medispro's manufacturing process.
