The Escape stone retrieval basket facilitates simultaneous fragmentation of the ureteral and renal calculi using laser lithotripsy and their extraction in situ. This versatile nitinol basket is appropriate for easy manipulation, especially in cases of entrapped ureteral or renal stones.
Following are the advantages and benefits of the Escape basket making it as a preferred basket option for specific cases.
| Feature | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
|
2-Port adapter |
The Escape stone retrieval basket is exclusively pre-packaged with 2-port scope adaptor enabling simultaneous use of the basket and the 200µ holmium laser fiber. |
The 2-port scope adapter enables a side-by-side approach facilitating control and independent manipulation of both basket and laser fiber. Such configuration enables to perform both stone fragmentation and retrieval at the same time, hence reducing the operative time and any further treatments. |
|
Basket stability |
The Escape basket is made of laser-cut nitinol wire, hence ensures cage stability during deployment. |
Its enhanced shape stability helps to retain its shape even in most challenging anatomy making them more durable and reliable option. |
|
Unique basket design |
The Escape 4-wire basket is made of versatile nitinol material that measures 11mm cage size in standard position, extendable to 15mm in fully opened position. |
Besides facilitating ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy, the Escape basket is specifically designed to effectively prevent stone migration ensuring safe stone retrieval. |
|
Anti-retropulsion property |
The Escape stone retrieval basket as effective anti-retropulsion device that helps to stabilize the stone during lithotripsy. |
The use of anti-retiretropulsion device such as Escape basket, especially for patients with distal ureteric stones helps to reduce mean operative time and also increases stone free rates. They also help to avoid secondary procedures for migrated stones. |
