Boston Scientific OptiFlex 1.3F Nitinol Stone Retrieval Basket M0036903010
The OptiFlex 1.3F Nitinol Stone Retrieval Basket is a sterile, single-use nitinol basket designed for ureteroscopic kidney stone removal. It features a slim 1.3 F (0.43 mm) sheath and a laser‑cut four‑wire design that expands from 6 to 11 mm in diameter. A precision thumb‑wheel handle allows rotational control and lockable sizing.
This basket maintains full functionality even when deflected up to 270°, making it ideal for tight calyces and tortuous anatomy. Its small sheath improves irrigation flow by roughly 28% compared to larger 1.5 F baskets, enhancing visibility during procedures. The rack‑and‑pinion locking mechanism on the handle offers fine control over cage expansion and rotation. Designed to maximize maneuverability and stone retrieval efficiency in flexible ureteroscopy.
