[Application]
lt is used for removal of gallstone within the bile duct or the foreign body in the upper or lower digestive tract.

[How to use]

The method of using the NRC type stone retrieval basket is the same as that of the WL type stone retrieval basket.

1. Determine the location of the stone by radiography;

2. Put into the stone-removing basket through the endoscopic biopsy hole;

3. When the net basket reaches the stone, continue to push it so that the head of the net basket goes over the stone;

4. Push the push and pull handle to open the net basket; slowly pull back the net basket under X-ray monitoring;

5. When the maximum diameter of the net basket overlaps with the stone, pull back the push-pull handle to tighten the net basket and then take out the stone. Once the stone is trapped, there is resistance to the retraction of the handle, and the net basket is seen in an oval shape around the stone on the X-ray. If the stones are difficult to retrieve, you must repeatedly enter and retreat into the basket and take them patiently;

6. After confirming that the stones are removed, slowly pull the basket back to the end of the endoscope, and then slowly exit with the endoscope.

7. If the stones are too big to be taken out, crush the stones first and then use the stone-removing basket to take the stones.

Their gentle yet effective grasp ensures maximum stone extraction while minimizing the risk of injury or damage to the surrounding tissues.

3. Efficient and Sterile Design:

Disposable stone baskets offer the advantage of being entirely disposable, ensuring sterility and convenience in urology interventions. Their design allows for single-use, eliminating the need for cleaning and sterilization, saving time and resources for medical professionals. This feature improves efficiency in stone removal procedures and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.

4. Versatile Applications:

Disposable stone baskets are versatile tools that can be used in various urological procedures. From kidney stone removal to intraoperative ureteroscopy, these baskets offer flexibility and adaptability in managing different types and locations of stones within the urinary tract. Their versatility makes them a valuable asset in the urologist's toolkit.

In conclusion, disposable stone baskets have revolutionized stone removal procedures in urology by offering ease of use, reduced complications, and convenient disposability. These specialized medical devices provide precise maneuverability, reduce risks, and contribute to successful stone removal interventions. As a versatile tool that ensures sterility, disposable stone baskets have become an essential component in managing kidney stones and optimizing patient outcomes.
