Ultra-Fine & Smooth Design: The endoscope shaft has a reduced diameter (customized for different age groups from infants to adolescents) and a polished, rounded tip, which minimizes trauma to the urethral mucosa during insertion and reduces discomfort for children.
Stable Operation: The ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand, ensuring stable control even during long procedures. The integrated working channel supports the smooth passage of small-sized instruments, facilitating operations such as tissue sampling and foreign body removal.
Biocompatible Material: The contact parts are made of medical-grade stainless steel and silica gel, which are non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with standard high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization, ensuring clinical safety.
Wide Field of View with No Blind Spots: The 30° angle design expands the observable range, allowing for simultaneous viewing of the frontal and lateral tissues without frequent adjustment of the endoscope position, thus shortening the procedure time.
Flexible Compatibility: It shares the same ergonomic handle and working channel specifications as the 0° model, supporting the same set of auxiliary instruments. This reduces the need for additional equipment and simplifies clinical operations.
Low Stimulation: The shaft is coated with a special lubricating layer that reduces friction during insertion, and the optimized lighting system avoids excessive heat generation, protecting the delicate tissues of children.
Endoscope body: including objective lens system, optical transmission/image transfer system, light fiber, etc., used to acquire and transmit images so that the doctor can observe the inside of the ureter.
Working channel: used to insert various therapeutic instruments, such as lithotriptic instruments, lithotomy forceps, biopsy forceps, etc., in order to perform corresponding therapeutic operations.
Operating lever: connects the main body and the handle, and is used to control the movement and operation of the mirror body. The doctor can adjust the Angle and direction of the mirror body through the operating lever, so that the doctor can better observe and treat the diseased part.
Handle: It is the part that the doctor holds and operates. It is usually equipped with various function buttons to facilitate the doctor to perform various operations during the operation.
1. What is an autoclavable rigid ureteroscope?
An autoclavable rigid ureteroscope is a high-precision medical instrument used for diagnosing and treating urinary tract conditions. It is designed to withstand high-temperature sterilization in an autoclave, making it reusable and cost-effective.
2. Is this ureteroscope reusable?
Yes, this rigid ureteroscope is made from durable materials (such as medical-grade stainless steel) and can be sterilized multiple times, allowing for repeated use in clinical settings.
3. How should the ureteroscope be sterilized?
The device is compatible with autoclave sterilization (steam sterilization at 121°C–134°C for 15–30 minutes). Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for optimal sterilization parameters.
4. Can it be disinfected with chemical sterilants?
While autoclaving is the preferred method, some chemical sterilants (e.g., ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxideplasma) may be used if autoclaving is unavailable. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations before using alternative sterilization methods.
5. How many sterilization cycles can it endure?
The ureteroscope is designed for long-term use, typically enduring hundreds of sterilization cycles if handledproperly. Regular inspection for wear and damage is recommended.
6. How should the ureteroscope be stored after sterilization?
Store in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment, preferably in a sterile pouch or container to maintain sterility until the next use.
7. What are the key advantages of an autoclavable rigid ureteroscope?
Cost-effective (reusable, reducing long-term expenses)
Eco-friendly (minimizes medical waste compared to single-use alternatives)
High durability (withstands repeated sterilization)
Reliable sterility (autoclaving ensures complete pathogen elimination)
8. How do I check for damage or wear?
Before each use, inspect:
Optical clarity (ensure no scratches or fogging)
Structural integrity (check for bends, cracks, or loose components)
Movement of controls (ensure smooth operation of deflection mechanisms, if applicable)
9. Can the ureteroscope be repaired if damaged?
Yes, many manufacturers offer repair and refurbishment services for rigid ureteroscopes. Contact the supplier for servicing options.
10. Where can I purchase replacement parts?
Replacement parts (e.g., light cables, seals, or lenses) are typically available through the original manufacturer or authorized distributors.
11. Is training required to use this ureteroscope?
Yes, proper training in handling, sterilization, and operation is essential to ensure patient safety and prolong the device’s lifespan.
12. What is the typical warranty period?
Warranty terms vary by manufacturer but generally cover 1–2 years for defects in materials or workmanship (not including damage from improper use).
