GEIWRE
High definition imaging: Using advanced optical technology and high resolution imaging sensor, the light transmission is uniform and clear, without fishiye phenomenon, which can clearly and stably present the situation in the ureter, and provide accurate diagnosis basis for doctors.
Good insertion performance: the lens is usually slim tubular with small diameter and taper-shaped design. The thin part at the front end can enter the ureter smoothly, while the thick part remains in the bladder and urethra, which can easily pass through the narrow passage and reach the deep tissue, reducing the discomfort of the patient during examination and improving the surgical efficiency.
Versatility: With a variety of functions, it can connect different working accessories, and insert laser fiber, ultrasonic probe rod, pneumatic ballistic stone crusher, stone pliers, electric cutter and other instruments through the working cavity, for direct vision, stone extraction, cutting, solidification and other operations.
Operation convenience: The handle design meets the ergonomic principle, the weight is moderate, the function button is intimate and practical, the doctor can customize the choice according to the need, such as image enlargement, freezing, taking pictures and other operations, good control, convenient for the doctor to operate flexibly during the operation.
Good durability and stability: The use of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, not only highly durable, but also has good corrosion resistance to various chemical substances, to ensure the long-term stability of the product.
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.
Diagnosis and treatment of ureteroscopy
Diagnosis and treatment of ureteral calculi: It is a common tool for the treatment of middle and lower ureteral calculi. It can directly observe the size, shape, and position of the stone, and insert gravel instruments through the working channel, such as laser stone crusher, pneumatic ballistic stone crusher or ultrasonic stone crusher, etc., to remove the stone after crushing or let it discharge itself.
Diagnosis and management of ureteral stenosis: The position and degree of ureteral stenosis can be observed. For mild stenosis, dilation can be performed by inserting dilating instruments through rigid ureteroscope. For more severe stenosis, it can also help doctors determine whether more complex treatments such as surgical incision are needed.
Ureteral tumor examination and treatment: It can be used to observe the condition of ureteral tumors, including the size, shape, and whether there is a pedicle. Some early, smaller ureteral tumors can be diagnosed by biopsy with a rigid ureteroscope and, in some cases, local resection of the tumor.
Ureteral foreign body removal: When there is a foreign body in the ureter, such as a displaced ureteral stent, broken suture, etc., a rigid ureteroscope can be used to find the foreign body and insert tools such as stone forceps through the working channel to remove the foreign body.
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).
