Cook Flexor Ureteral Access Sheath G46168
The Flexor Ureteral Access Sheath G46168 is a sterile, single-use sheath used in endoscopic urological procedures to provide a conduit through the ureter. It enables safe and repeated passage of endoscopes and instruments into the urinary tract. The sheath helps protect the ureter from trauma and reduces instrument friction during insertion and manipulation.
Flexor Ureteral Access Sheath G46168 is designed to dilate the ureter and maintain a stable working channel throughout procedures like ureteroscopy or stone removal. Its wall is wire-reinforced, giving resistance against kinking and compression — a key advantage when navigating tortuous ureters and repeatedly exchanging instruments. The sheath is coated with a hydrophilic layer, ensuring a low-friction surface that eases insertion and reduces tissue irritation. By protecting the ureter and delicate endoscopic tools, it helps minimize complications and extend the lifespan of instruments during procedures.
