GlideAccess Ureteral Access Sheath

GlideAccess Ureteral Access Sheath

Engineered for smooth and efficient navigation, this ureteral access sheath provides enhanced access to the urinary tract, reducing trauma and facilitating the passage of instruments during urological procedures.

Thông tin

GlideAccess is a versatile, hydrophilic-coated ureteral access sheath engineered for atraumatic entry into the upper urinary tract—simplifying endoscopic procedures such as ureteroscopy and stone management. Featuring a unique tip-expanding system, the sheath transitions gently from its dilator to the external surface, minimizing patient discomfort and reducing mucosal trauma. With stainless-steel coil reinforcement, radiopaque markers, and a dilator lock mechanism, GlideAccess offers secure, anti-kink performance across a variety of lengths and diameters.

Atraumatic Tip Transition
  • Unique Tip-Expanding System: Ensures a smooth, gradual opening that decreases friction at the ureteral orifice, reducing tissue irritation or injury.
  • Protective Design: Minimizes patient discomfort during insertion or repositioning.
  • Secure Sheath-Dilator Connection: Prevents accidental separation, facilitating consistent advancement and controlled placement.
  • Visual Control of Fixation: Confirms at-a-glance that the dilator is correctly engaged with the sheath.
  • PTFE Inner Layer: Ensures a low-friction lumen for smooth device passage (e.g., scopes, retrieval baskets), avoiding potential hang-ups or drag.
  • Stainless-Steel Coil Reinforcement: Maintains sheath patency under bending forces, imparting robust anti-kink characteristics—critical in tortuous ureteral anatomy.
  • Sheath & Dilator Tip Visibility: Allows precise fluoroscopic or endoscopic confirmation of device position, key in complex anatomy.
  • Efficient Localization: Helps operators define the exact transition point of the tip for atraumatic positioning.
  • Enhanced Navigability: Reduces friction along ureteral walls, simplifying sheath advancement and retrieval.
  • Lower Tissue Trauma: Minimizes ureteral irritation, diminishing bleeding or edema risks.
  • Multiple Lengths: 35 or 45 cm suits various patient anatomies or scope placements.
  • Inner & Outer Diameters (CH/FR): Wide range—10/12, 12/14, 14/16—covering typical ureteral requirements for stone extraction or endoscopic interventions.

Ưu điểm và ứng dụng lâm sàng

Facilitating Ureteroscopy
  • Repetitive Instrument Exchange: Ensures comfortable and efficient scope passes, limiting repeated trauma to the ureteral orifice and walls.
  • Stone Retrieval & Laser Lithotripsy: Streamlines manipulations of baskets, laser fibers, or retrieval devices, enhancing operative speed.
  • Reliable Anti-Kink Design: Maintains consistent patency for irrigation outflow and instrument movement, potentially lowering overall operative durations.
  • Atraumatic Transition: Minimizes scope deflections or repeated sheath reintroductions, boosting procedural efficiency.
  • Lower Mucosal Injury: The gentle tip transition mitigates excessive stress or friction within the ureter.
  • Secure Placement: Locking mechanism keeps the dilator-sheath assembly stable, alleviating sudden disconnections or misplacement.
  • Hydrophilic Coating: Beneficial in managing acute angles, strictures, or narrower ureteral segments.
  • Stainless-Steel Coil: Reinforces radial strength and consistent luminal diameter for large or rigid endourological instruments.
