Ureteral Access Sheath-Y Type
Product Features
● The hub splits into a main working port and a separate side port. The side port is dedicated to continuous inflow irrigation and is connected to the space between the sheath and the scope.
● The side port often has a hemostatic valve, allowing a guidewire or laser fiber to be inserted alongside the scope without removing it.
● The sheath is designed from advanced polymers to resist kinking and compression in the tortuous ureter, ensuring uninterrupted flow and scope movement.
● Many sheaths have a coating that becomes extremely slippery when wet. This drastically reduces friction, making insertion into the ureter smoother and more atraumatic.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
● Inspect the device. Flush both the main channel and the Y-side port with saline to activate the hydrophilic coating and ensure patency. Connect irrigation tubing to the Y-port.
● Place a guidewire up the ureter into the kidney.
● Under continuous fluoroscopy, advance the pre-assembled sheath and dilator over the guidewire.
● Use gentle pressure. STOP if significant resistance is met to avoid ureteral injury.
● Position the distal tip in the proximal ureter.
● Remove the inner dilator, leaving the outer sheath in place.
● Begin continuous irrigation through the Y-side port. This provides high-flow fluid to maintain a clear view during the procedure.
● The Y-port can also be used to insert instruments (e.g., laser fiber, guidewire) alongside the scope without removing the scope.
● Insert the flexible ureteroscope through the main working port to perform the surgery (e.g., laser lithotripsy).
● Withdraw the scope. Remove the sheath over a guidewire using a slow, twisting motion under fluoroscopy.
Product application
● Protects the Ureter: Reduces the risk of trauma during instrument insertion and removal.
● Improves Efficiency: Provides a stable pathway, making procedures faster and more effective.
● Enhanced Visualization: Allows for continuous irrigation, improving visibility during surgery.
● Patient Safety: Minimizes the risk of ureteral injury and post-procedure complications.
● Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of endourological procedures.
