A ureteral access sheath is used to establish a conduit that facilitates the passage of endoscopes and other instruments into the urinary tract during endoscopic urological procedures. It also acts as a protective layer for delicate instruments and smaller flexible scopes from damage. The access sheath aids in visualization and provides easy access to the target or stone. When combined with reliable technologies and design, access sheaths offer shorter treatment times, low re-treatment rates, and minimal side effects.
The ureteral access sheaths are used in various procedures to wash out stone fragments, facilitate access to target organs in complex ureteroscopic procedures and prevent over-distension of the collecting system.
