StoneMaster: The High Performer of Stone Extraction Baskets
A meticulously designed device for urological stone management, offering superior grip, flexibility, and precision to efficiently capture and remove calculi with minimal patient discomfort.
StoneMaster is an innovative stone retrieval system designed to comfortably, safely, and quickly extract concretions of various sizes—particularly from hard-to-reach areas in the renal pelvis. Its unique three-arm nitinol basket leverages hybrid functionality, combining the benefits of both a grabber and a stone extraction basket, ensuring fast stone capture and atraumatic removal even from the distal ureteral or calyceal system.
Perfect Hybrid of Grabber and Basket
Elastic, Fully Articulated Three-Armed Basket: Seamlessly toggles between a basket configuration (for encasing the stone) and a grabber approach (for direct grasping), giving clinicians heightened procedural flexibility.
High-Performance Nitinol Construction
- Shape Memory & Flexibility: Nitinol wires retain stability while allowing the basket to open and close smoothly in the confines of the renal collecting system.
- Durable & Kink-Resistant: Ensures consistent performance during repeated captures, even in tortuous ureteral or calyceal anatomy.
StoneWrapper Integration
- Three-Arm Hybrid Head: Combines direct basket function with a specialized grabber tip—encasing stones quickly while minimizing risk of trauma.
- Advanced Guide Wire Technology: High shaft stiffness with a hyperflexible distal end streamlines catheter manipulation and stabilizes the StoneMaster device in challenging angles.
- Tuohy-Borst Adapter & Insertion Aid: Simplifies introduction into the working channel of flexible ureteroscopes and acts as a splash guard—maintaining a clean and safe workspace.
Multiple Sizes & Opening Options
- Two Basket Diameters: Adaptable to various stone sizes or anatomical variations encountered during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).
- Varied Opening Mechanisms: Operators can choose from standard or larger opening designs, tailoring retrieval method to stone burden and location.
Clinical Advantages & Applications
Efficient Stone Extraction
- Direct Removal of Marginal Stones: Ideal for capturing even small or “slippery” concretions lodged in difficult angles of the renal pelvis or lower calyx.
- Rapid & Reliable: Shortens procedure times, reducing anesthesia requirements and enhancing patient comfort.
Improved Patient Safety & Comfort
- Atraumatic Basket Action: The nitinol arms gently enclose stones, diminishing the risk of mucosal damage or bleeding.
- Minimized Device Exchanges: The hybrid design (grabber + basket) lessens the need for switching instruments mid-procedure.
Optimized Visualization & Control
- Excellent Irrigation: System design fosters clear endoscopic viewing, ensuring the operator can locate and remove stones effectively without losing vision.
- Stable Handling: The ergonomic push handle and stiff/hyperflexible guide wire synergy reduce operator fatigue, enabling consistent performance through complex manipulations.
Flexible & Versatile
- Lower Pole & Multi-Calyx Access: StoneMaster’s sinusoidal and pigtail expansions adapt to varied angles, addressing branched or angled calyceal anatomies.
- Compatibility: Integrates with most standard flexible ureteroscopes, enabling universal adoption for renal stone retrieval.
