The unique design of Optiflex stone retrieval baskets enable easy outreach and capturing of fragments in the kidney and ureter with greater precision and control.
Following are the special and distinct features of the Optiflex basket:
| Feature | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
|
Flexibility |
Flexibility, a characteristic feature of Optiflex basket along with its compact design makes it a superior choice for flexible ureteroscopy procedures. |
Optiflex baskets are small and flexible that helps the surgeon to negotiate through torturous anatomy, without causing any harm to the patient. |
|
Compact sheath design |
The small sheath size (1.3F) of Optiflex retrieval baskets improves the irrigation flow during ureteroscopy. The compact sheath design also supports full basket functionality at 2700 deflection that is a featured advantage of Optiflex basket. The sheath material also confers better lubricity for easy manipulation through small scope working channels |
The improved irrigation flow and deflection confers better field visualization and efficient manipulation during stone retrieval. |
|
Ergonomic handle |
The Optiflex handle is ergonomically designed with a thumb wheel that enables customization of the cage size and rotation. The basket cage deployment is also controlled using a well-designed rack and pinion locking mechanism of the handle. |
The customization of the basket facilitates rotation during stone capture for efficient performance. The locking mechanism also helps to maintain stability of the cage during deployment thereby ensuring greater basket control from outside. |
|
Unique cage design |
Optiflex is a four wire cage basket constructed using nitinol wire that confers greater stability during deployment. It is available in broad range of cage diameters ranging from 6mm to 11mm. |
The stability of the basket ensures greater control during stone capture and the availability of multiple cage diameters facilitates better outcomes in different cases. |
