Cook Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56446
The Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56446 is a sterile, single-use sheath used in endoscopic urological procedures. It provides a continuous working channel to allow instruments to access the urinary tract while protecting the ureter. The sheath’s hydrophilic coating helps ease insertion and reduce friction during ureteral dilation.
This sheath is intended to establish a secure conduit from the urethra up to the ureter or kidney, facilitating procedures such as ureteroscopy, stone removal, or other minimally invasive urological interventions. Its “Parallel Rapid Release” design enables the use of a single guide wire that serves as both working and safety wire, simplifying the procedure and reducing need for multiple wires. The hydrophilic coating and smooth inner lumen reduce friction, making instrument exchanges safer and minimizing trauma to the ureteral wall. The sheath’s reinforced construction — including coil support and durable materials — ensures kink resistance and reliable performance during repeated passes in a single procedure.
