Cook Amplatz Sheath G46032
The Amplatz Sheath G46032 is a medical access sheath used to maintain a percutaneous tract during kidney procedures. It acts as a stable conduit for scopes, catheters, or instruments after tract dilation. The sheath is radiopaque and intended for single-use sterile applications.
The Amplatz Sheath G46032 provides a stable, kink-resistant channel from the skin to the kidney, facilitating instrument exchange during percutaneous renal procedures. Its rigid wall supports repeated instrument passage without collapsing or damaging surrounding tissue. Radiopaque construction helps surgeons visualize its position under fluoroscopy to ensure safe placement. Once inserted, the sheath simplifies complex procedures such as nephrolithotomy by maintaining consistent access, reducing tissue trauma and improving procedure efficiency.
