STONE CONE
Stone Cone for Ureteroscopy (URS)
The URS stone cone is designed to prevent proximal migration of ureteral stones during ureteroscopy procedures. It creates a mechanical barrier within the ureter, allowing effective stone fragmentation while keeping fragments contained.
Hospitals and distributors looking to buy stone cone for ureteroscopy online can use this device to improve procedural control and stone clearance outcomes.
Key Features
- Anti-Retropulsion Design
- Prevents stone migration into the kidney during lithotripsy
- Nitinol Wire Construction
- Flexible and shape-retaining material for reliable deployment
- Coiled Barrier Mechanism
- Forms a secure distal barrier to trap stone fragments
- Compatible with URS Procedures
- Works alongside lithotripters and ureteroscopes
- Clinical Application
Used during:
- Ureteroscopy (URS)
- Ureteral stone fragmentation
- Endoscopic stone management procedures
How It Works
The device is advanced past the stone through the ureter. Once positioned, the nitinol wire expands into a coiled structure, forming a barrier distal to the stone. This prevents fragments from migrating upward during lithotripsy, allowing for more controlled and efficient stone removal.
Why It Matters
Stone migration during ureteroscopy can:
- Reduce procedural efficiency
- Increase procedure time
- Lead to secondary interventions
The stone cone helps:
- Improve stone clearance rates
- Reduce retropulsion
- Minimize the need for repeat procedures
- Description
Description
It consists of a flexible nitinol wire that expands into a coiled configuration to form a barrier distal to the stone. This helps contain fragments during lithotripsy, enabling controlled and effective stone fragmentation. By preventing retropulsion, the stone cone improves stone clearance and reduces the likelihood of secondary procedures.
