Cook Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56430
Flexor Parallel Rapid Release Ureteral Access Sheath G56430 is a sterile, single-use 9.5 Fr ureteral access sheath used in endoscopic urology to allow safe passage of scopes and instruments into the urinary tract. It establishes a stable working channel with low-friction coating for easier insertion. It supports use of a single guidewire that acts both as working and safety wire.
The G56430 sheath belongs to the Cook Medical “Flexor Parallel Rapid Release” line, offering either the traditional sheath placement or the Rapid Release technique — where the dilator slit lets the guidewire run outside while remaining in parallel with the sheath after dilator removal. Its hydrophilic coating reduces insertion friction and facilitates atraumatic dilation of the ureter, helping protect ureteral walls and delicate instruments. The working channel created by the sheath allows passage of ureteroscope or other instruments, repeated exchanges, irrigation or contrast injection without repeated trauma or loss of access. This single-wire/single-sheath design can reduce instrument counts and simplify workflow compared to traditional dual-wire techniques, which may save time and reduce inventory needs.
