Program Details
Boston Scientific will provide a free replacement WallFlex Stent of identical dimension if a partially or fully covered WallFlex Stent is implanted in accordance with the terms of the Program and the stent migrates or becomes occluded during the first year, and all other terms of the Program are fulfilled. This offer applies only to partially or fully covered WallFlex Stent endoscopically placed in accordance with the Directions for Use after January 1, 2023.
Replacement stents provided under the Program are not eligible for the Program. Claims under the Program are limited to one (1) new identical replacement stent.
