Can the EZ Stent be re-used?

EZ Stent is intended for ONE TIME USE only. The stent can only be re-heated 2 to 3 times for minor adjustments. Re-heating the stent repeatedly will make the thermoplastic material unstable and deteriorate. Re-using the EZ Stent can also introduces cross-contamination between patients.
