Ureteral Access Sheath – Smooth and Safe Access for Urological Procedures

Introduction to Ureteral Access Sheath: Optimizing Ureteroscopy and Stone Management

A Ureteral Access Sheath is a specialized device used during ureteroscopic and retrograde intrarenal surgeries. It provides a continuous access channel to the ureter and kidney, allowing safe passage of flexible instruments. This sheath helps reduce trauma and maintains consistent dilation throughout the procedure.

Development and Evolution of the Ureteral Access Sheath: From Basic Entry to Advanced Navigation

Ureteral Access Sheaths were developed to enhance the safety and efficiency of ureteroscopy. They became widely adopted in the 2000s as flexible ureteroscopes gained popularity. Initially available in limited sizes, modern sheaths now come with hydrophilic coatings and radiopaque markers for precision. Their evolution has significantly improved outcomes in endourology.

What is a Ureteral Access Sheath? A Clinical Overview of This Urological Essential

Advin Health Care provides high-quality Ureteral Access Sheaths designed to optimize ureteroscopic procedures. These sheaths feature a tapered dilator and hydrophilic coating, enabling smooth insertion and minimal trauma. Advin Health Care manufactures this device with a transparent tip and platinum ring for improved fluoroscopic visibility. It allows repeated passage of endoscopic instruments without compromising the ureter. The sheath supports better irrigation flow and reduces intrarenal pressure during complex stone removal procedures.

Surgical Applications: Used in RIRS, URS, and Flexible Ureteroscopy for Smooth Access

• Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
• Ureteroscopic Stone Removal
• Ureteral Stent Placement
• Biopsy of Upper Urinary Tract
• Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

How to Use a Ureteral Access Sheath: Technique for Safe and Repeated Scope Passage

• Lubricate the sheath and dilator properly
• Insert the dilator-sheath assembly into the ureter over a guidewire
• Advance gently under fluoroscopic guidance
• Once positioned, remove the inner dilator, leaving the sheath in place
• Proceed with flexible scope or instrument insertion through the sheath

Clinical Benefits: Reduces Intrarenal Pressure, Facilitates Stone Retrieval, and Protects the Ureter

• Allows multiple instrument exchanges without ureteral trauma
• Reduces risk of intrarenal pressure buildup
• Enhances irrigation and visualization during procedures
• Minimizes operative time and improves patient outcomes
• Hydrophilic coating eases insertion and navigation
• Radiopaque markers provide accurate placement under imaging
