Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects many men, particularly as they age. Fortunately, a variety of treatment options are available, ranging from lifestyle changes to medical interventions. First-line treatments often include lifestyle modifications such as weight management, smoking cessation, and regular exercise, which can improve vascular health and overall well-being. Oral medications … Continue reading
The global medical industry demands high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative solutions. In recent years, China’s OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) medical products have gained significant traction in both Europe and the US. But why are more healthcare providers, distributors, and brands partnering with Chinese manufacturers? Here’s what makes China a preferred choice: China’s advanced manufacturing infrastructure and … Continue reading
When selecting intermittent catheters, material composition is a key factor influencing patient comfort, safety, and long-term outcomes. Hydrophilic catheters—designed to reduce friction and minimize urethral trauma—are widely used in urology. But when comparing hydrophilic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) catheters to hydrophilic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) catheters, which is the superior choice? Material Differences: TPU vs. PVC Both … Continue reading
Holmium laser fibers are essential in urology, orthopedics, and ENT surgeries, enabling precise stone fragmentation and tissue ablation. However, one common issue is fiber burn at the coupling part, which can compromise performance, safety, and efficiency. Understanding the reasons behind this can help prevent damage and extend fiber lifespan. Key Reasons for Fiber Burn at … Continue reading
Ureteral access sheaths (UAS) have long been used in endourology to facilitate stone removal during ureteroscopy. However, traditional UAS designs have limitations, especially in maintaining clear visibility, reducing intrarenal pressure, and improving stone fragment clearance. This led to the development of the Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (sUAS)—a game-changing innovation in stone management. Why Was the … Continue reading
Intermittent catheterization is a crucial method for individuals with urinary retention, neurogenic bladder, or other urological conditions. Among the various options, hydrophilic intermittent catheters stand out due to their ease of use, reduced friction, and lower risk of urethral trauma and infection. But not all hydrophilic catheters are the same. Here’s a breakdown of the … Continue reading
Holmium laser surgery is widely used in urology, orthopedics, and ENT procedures for its precision in cutting, ablation, and lithotripsy. However, one of the challenges in these procedures is the damage to laser fibers, which can affect performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding the key factors behind fiber damage can help extend fiber lifespan and improve … Continue reading
When it comes to treating erectile dysfunction (ED) that doesn’t respond to medication or other therapies, penile implants offer a reliable solution. Among the available options—such as inflatable and malleable (semi-rigid) prostheses—many patients and doctors prefer inflatable penile prostheses (IPP). Here’s why… Continue reading
Guidewires play a crucial role in various urological procedures, facilitating safe and efficient access to the urinary tract. Selecting the appropriate guidewire is essential for minimizing complications and optimizing outcomes. Types of Guidewires and Their Applications Coated for enhanced lubricity, ideal for navigating complex or narrowed ureters. Commonly used in cases of ureteral stricture or … Continue reading
