HYDROPHILIC URETRAL ACCESS SHEATH

Product Description

The Hydrophilic Ureteral Access Sheath is an essential medical device designed to facilitate safe and efficient access to the ureter and kidney during complex urological procedures.
It provides a stable working channel for the smooth passage of instruments such as ureteroscopes, guidewires, and stone retrieval devices.
Its advanced hydrophilic coating dramatically reduces friction, allowing for easier insertion and withdrawal, minimizing potential trauma to the delicate ureteral tissue.
This sheath is crucial for protecting the ureter from repeated instrument exchanges, thereby enhancing patient safety and procedural efficiency.
Manufactured under stringent quality controls, this sheath ensures reliability and consistent performance in demanding clinical environments.
It is a sterile, single-use device intended for professional medical use.

Benefits of Use

• Facilitates smooth and atraumatic insertion of instruments into the ureter.
• Provides a stable and protected working channel for various urological procedures.
• Minimizes friction with its hydrophilic coating, reducing tissue trauma.
• Protects the ureter from damage during multiple instrument exchanges.
• Enhances maneuverability of endoscopes and other devices.
• Improves procedural efficiency and potentially reduces procedure time.

How to Use

1. Confirm patient suitability and prepare the operative field following standard sterile techniques.
2. Insert a guidewire into the ureter and advance it to the renal pelvis under fluoroscopic guidance.
3. Advance the Hydrophilic Ureteral Access Sheath over the guidewire until the desired position in the ureter or renal pelvis is achieved.
4. Remove the internal dilator and guidewire, leaving the access sheath in place.
5. Perform the urological procedure (e.g., ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy) through the established working channel.
6. Upon completion of the procedure, carefully withdraw the access sheath.
7. Dispose of the sheath properly after single use.

Caution & Warnings

• Sterile, single-use device. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Inspect the package for damage before use. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged.
• Use only by trained medical professionals in appropriate clinical settings.
• Potential complications include ureteral perforation, infection, or hemorrhage.
• Ensure proper guidewire placement before advancing the sheath to prevent complications.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Ingredients

The Hydrophilic Ureteral Access Sheath is constructed from medical-grade polymers, typically polyurethane or polyethylene, ensuring biocompatibility and flexibility.
It features a specialized hydrophilic coating applied to its outer surface, which becomes lubricious upon contact with aqueous solutions, facilitating smooth insertion.
The sheath may also incorporate radiopaque markers for enhanced visibility under fluoroscopy.
