Cook Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56445
Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56445 is a sheath used in urological endoscopic procedures to provide a safe and stable channel into the urinary tract. It allows passage of a ureteroscope or other instruments while protecting the ureter during repeated exchanges. Its hydrophilic coating makes insertion easier and less traumatic.
This sheath establishes a continuous working channel to facilitate the passage of endoscopes and instruments into the urinary tract, reducing trauma during multiple instrument exchanges. The “Rapid Release” design allows a single guidewire to serve both as working and safety wire — when the dilator is withdrawn, the wire and sheath remain parallel, leaving an unobstructed working channel. The low-friction hydrophilic coating eases insertion and dilation of the ureter, improving patient safety and reducing trauma risk. This sheath protects delicate instruments and scopes while maintaining access and irrigation during procedures like ureteroscopy or stone removal.
