Cook Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G34874
The Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G34874 is a sterile sheath used to provide safe access to the ureter and kidney during endoscopic urological procedures. It acts as a conduit through which instruments (e.g. ureteroscopes) can be repeatedly passed and withdrawn without damaging the ureter. The sheath is radiopaque to allow visibility under imaging during placement.
This access sheath is designed to facilitate efficient and repeated instrument exchanges during ureteroscopy or other endourological procedures, reducing trauma to the ureter. By maintaining a stable conduit from bladder to upper urinary tract, it lowers friction and protects delicate mucosa during repeated scope insertion and removal. Radiopaque construction enables visualization under fluoroscopy or X-ray to verify correct placement and orientation. As a sterile, single-use device, it aims to improve procedural safety and reduce infection risks.
