First flexible dual-channel laser uretero-renoscopeThe Cobra - Lithotripsy by Laser
Up to now, laser lithotripsy with a flexible uretero-renoscope was often a complicated and time-consuming form of therapy. At Richard Wolf, we looked into the problems involved and then took on the challenge. The result was well worth the effort. What emerged was an instrument that solves all the problems encountered by the user when fighting with flexible laser lithotripsy.
"The COBRA" with 2 large irrigation and instrument channelsDuring laser lithotripsy with a standard flexible uretero-renoscope, the laser fibre must be continuously exchanged for a tipless basket to retrieve the stone fragments from the kidney. Here, our new flexible uretero-renoscope "the COBRA" with 2 large irrigation and instrument channels is a considerable help. One channel is primarily for a laser fibre but can also be
Advantages of the Cobra
Fast stone extraction and better overview
Following successful lithotripsy, a tipless basket can then be extended from the second channel to retrieve the stone fragments. Stones held in the basket can also be fragmented easily with the laser. The two irrigation and working channels can be used either for continuous irrigation or both together with auxiliary instruments inserted for simple irrigation. "The COBRA" can, of course, be used with all commercially available camera systems.
