Low radial pressure decreases chances of mucosal injuries.
Works with both tonic and atonic sphincter.
Lumen patency, even during peristalsis.
Indicated for Bristol scale 5, 6 & 7
Qora SMK exhibits around 20 mmHG radial pressure which is significantly lower than balloon catheters (32-81 mmHG), lower than the urge to defecate sensation pressure (about 27 mmHG) and lower than the capillary occlusion pressure at about 36 mmHG.
The lower pressure ensures the patient’s safety and comfort. Qora’s self-expanding stent rests on the wall of the rectum (instead of anchoring on anorectal junction) hence providing full natural lumen of the rectum for fecal diversion. Qora SMK has the broadest possible indication and can be used on patients with tonic or atonic sphincter, as well as patients with varied stool consistencies like liquid stool, semi-liquid stool or even semi-formed stool – Bristol 5, 6, & 7.
Qora SMK has a stool sampling port and fastest fluid delivery port that can be used to deliver fluids of dense viscosity. Qora is the only closed-loop faecal/bowel management system that is 100% malodor-containing, a feature that almost all our nurses and family members love.
Qora SMK is the only product in this category – be it rectal trumpets, tubes, balloon catheters, or pouch, that has performed a pre and post-use colonoscopy examination as part of our clinical trials. The stent is MRI-conditional and can be used on acute care patients, transplant patients, burns patients, and chronically ill patients in long-term care or hospice care.

2X faster fluid delivery than IBC’s for patients with Cdifficle and other critical patients.
Also delivers suspension fluids and high volume enema
For highly infectious patients that require regular stool samples for lab work.
Sample port that is designed for a Slip-Tip syringe helps collect sample without any soiling or contamination.
Purse string based mechanism that collapses the lattice close to its original collapsed size.
Lattice collapses automatically when a restless patient tries to pull out the device and prevents any injury to sphincter or anal canal.
Sheath and collection bag are made of proprietary material that contains malodor.
Features a flatus release valve for odorless degassing.
One way valve prevents any backflow.
Accurate output monitoring
A non-balloon indwelling stool/fecal management system
Qora SMK is the first non-balloon indwelling stool/fecal management system that uses a self-expanding stent (lattice) that is deployed by an ergonomic applicator.
This offers a hygienic standardized deployment and minimizes risk of injuries.
The self-expanding lattice is pliable in nature, so Qora stent mimics the anatomy during GI motility and expands and closes with the rectum
