Ureteroscopy (URS) involves the use of small telescopes that are inserted through the bladder and into the opening of the ureter. The telescope allows visualization of stones in the ureter and/or kidney. Depending on the size of the stone and the diameter of the ureter, the stone may be fragmented and/or removed. The most common method of fragmentation is performed using a laser. The laser is passed through a tiny channel in the telescope and used to fragment the stone into smaller pieces.
One benefit of this treatment is the ability to directly visualize the fragmentation process. Moreover, stone fragments can be collected for analysis by passing a stone basket through the telescope and capturing the fragments for removal. URS tray can hold two URS and other accessories like baskets, pouches, loops etc in a single tray and makes the procedure a very convenient for the surgeon and the staff.
