Urology Stone Retrieval Baskets
Urology stone retrieval baskets are specialized medical devices designed to capture, manipulate, and remove urinary stones from the kidney, ureter, or bladder during endoscopic procedures. These baskets are commonly used in ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to aid in minimally invasive stone management.
Key Features:
Material: Typically made from flexible nitinol or stainless steel wires, providing durability and kink resistance.
Design: Available in various configurations, including tipless, helical, open-tip, and Dormia-style baskets, each designed for specific clinical needs.
Stone Grasping Mechanism: The basket wires expand upon deployment, securely capturing stones of different sizes for safe extraction or repositioning.
Flexibility & Compatibility: Designed for use with rigid or flexible ureteroscopes, ensuring smooth navigation through the urinary tract.
Control & Handling: Equipped with an ergonomic handle for precise control during insertion, expansion, and retraction.
Radiopacity: Some models are radiopaque for better visualization under fluoroscopy.
Types of Urology Stone Retrieval Baskets:
1. Tipless Baskets: Reduce mucosal trauma and allow closer access to stones in the kidney or ureter.
2. Helical Baskets: Feature a spiral design for better stone capture and grip.
3. Open Tip Baskets: Facilitate easier stone entry and controlled release.
4. Dormia Baskets: Classic four-wire design for secure stone retrieval.
5. Dual-Action Baskets: Offer advanced control for precise stone manipulation.
These baskets play a crucial role in modern urology, enabling safe and effective stone removal with minimal patient discomfort and faster recovery times.
