Ureteroscopes are proving to be a breakthrough device for patients suffering from urinary diseases including stones in the kidney, ureter, and bladder

Ureteroscopes are tools used in the field of urology. Basically, this procedure refers to the inspection of the upper urinary tract, which includes the kidney, bladder, and ureters. Ureteroscopes are instruments that enable doctors to inspect the entire urinary system. As a matter of fact, ureteroscopes are typically used for stones in the ureter, kidney, and especially for stones closest to the bladder in the lower half of the ureter. As per National Kidney Foundation, the prevalence of kidney stones in the U.S. increased 3.8% in the late 1970s to 8.8% in the late 2000s. 

Ureteroscopes

 

Ureteroscopes are used extensively by medical professionals to monitor various aspects of the kidney and urinary system. They are used to examine the urine flow and to identify the exact location of the prostate, the bladder, and other organs. For example, if the vena cava is blocked, then the position of the prostate can be determined. The same is the case if the bladder is obstructed, as the flow of urine can be visualized with the help of ureteroscopes. Another type of ureters, named the intervertebral disk, is usually used by medical professionals to examine the inner structure of the back

Anoscope is another instrument that is used extensively by medical professionals to examine the urinary system. Like the other mentioned types of ureters, an anoscope is also used to examine the bladder and the rectum. However, in this case, the scope is smaller and much lighter than the one used for the examination of the kidneys. These instruments are very important for any medical professional since these types of equipment will ensure that the patients do not suffer from any damages. Recently, in April 2019, Dornier MedTech, a urology and kidney stone management company, launched new AXIS Single-use Flexible Digital Ureteroscope and stone management products at the American Urology Association Annual Meeting.
