Zerotip stone retrieval baskets are specifically designed for smooth navigation and for better articulation in close proximity with ureteral and renal calculi.
Following are the unique benefits of the Zerotip basket.
| Feature | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
|
Tipless design |
Zerotip baskets are specially designed to exclude the tip at the distal end making stone retrieval easy in challenging anatomy |
The tipless design enables close stone approximation increasing the efficiency of stone retrieval. The flat surface at the distal end also ensures smooth and atraumatic manipulation thereby reducing the chances of patient injury. The knotted basket tip also secures the wires in position for reliable stone capture. |
|
Versatile configurations |
Zerotip baskets are available in multiple sizes (1.9F, 2.4F and 3.0F) exhibiting their respective advantages. The 3.0F baskets can accommodate larger stone, while 1.9F and 2.4F baskets are ideal for retrieval of upper urinary tract and renal calculi with improved irrigation and visibility |
The broad size selection of Zerotip baskets expands their scope of application. |
|
Reliable nitinol material |
Zerotip baskets are manufactured using nitinol wire that offers kink-resistant and flexible design for full scope deflection. |
Nitinol basket construction offers reliable and efficient retrieval of calyceal stones even in most challenging anatomy. Its durability and shape-retaining properties help to ensure reliable performance even after multiple cycles. |
|
Multi-layer sheath material |
The composite sheath confers exceptional strength yet retaining flexibility for enhanced scope deflection. |
The multi-layered sheath is specifically designed to reduce friction, thereby ensuring smooth scope passage that is beneficial both for both, the surgeon, and the patients. |
