New ureteral access sheath: innovation for optimized management of urinary calculi

Feb 5, 2025 | Innovation, Products 0 comments

Asept InMed continues to expand its urology offering with the launch of a new ureteral access sheath specially designed for flexible ureteroscopy. This innovative device combines cutting-edge technical features to offer more effective management of urinary calculi, while optimizing patient safety and comfort.

Efficient suction for improved visibility

One of the key features of this new sheath is its integrated suction system, which removes stone fragments while improving visibility of the surgical field. This feature is ideal for procedures based on the dusting technique, which involves fragmenting stones to facilitate their removal. Continuous suction keeps the operating field clean, reducing the risk of complications during surgery.

Flexibility and comfort for optimum access

The flexibility of the distal part of the sheath is another major advantage. It facilitates access to the most difficult areas of the kidney, guaranteeing smooth manoeuvrability and more precise intervention. This flexibility also helps minimize the risk of damage to neighboring tissues, an essential factor in patient safety.

Quality materials for smooth integration

To ensure optimal, pain-free insertion, the sheath features a hydrophilic coating. This treatment makes insertion more fluid, reducing friction and the risk of tissue trauma. What's more, an atraumatic soft tip is present at the end of the sheath, guaranteeing maximum protection of sensitive structures, including mucous membranes and internal tissues.

Waterproof and easy to use

The patented, pre-installed O-ring ensures a perfect seal throughout the operation, providing optimum control of the suction system. What's more, the O-ring is easy to remove, simplifying maintenance and use.

A complete solution for flexible ureteroscopy

With its many technical features, this new ureteral access sheath represents an ideal solution for flexible ureteroscopy procedures. It meets the needs of practitioners by offering efficient suction, maximum flexibility and quality materials, while guaranteeing patient safety and comfort.

In this way, Asept InMed continues to strengthen its commitment to urology, offering ever more effective and innovative devices to meet the challenges of everyday medical practice.
