If OR time is 60 minutes or greater there is a
3-fold increased risk of clinical complications¹

Access

UAS placement reduces surgical time by 10.5 minutes and saves up to $350 in operating room costs per ureteroscopic procedure², but traditional UAS placement requires two guidewires and dual lumen catheters.

Using ReTrace® resulted in an additional minimum $100 savings* in OR time and additional product costs3

*Estimated costs and cost savings based on market value data.  Actual cost and cost savings may vary per procedure.

Lithotripsy

Holmium lasers have been shown to use up to 47% more laser time than TFL4

Using Coloplast TFL Drive resulted in 24% less procedure time

TFL positively impacts efficiency because it operates at a higher frequency while delivering energy more efficiently requiring less heat and power4*

*Data referenced was not obtained from testing on Coloplast TFL system

Collection

37% of stones are in the lower pole where many baskets can’t reach5

Damage from mechanical issues such as excessive torque/decreased flexion have been shown to cause 28% of scope repairs6

The annual cost of scope damage is $50,0007

Dormia® 1.5 is 12% smaller8 than a 1.7 basket improving access to the lower pole, where 37% of stones are located. This makes it possible to deflect the ureteroscope further without forcing, and with less stress.

Stenting

Complications can impact daily activities and reduce quality of life of
60% of patients9

Encrustation and calcification accounted for 5% of long-term stent complications which leads to:

    • 29% stent removal9
    • 68% additional Lithotripsy and ureteroscopy urinary symptoms and pain7

imajin-hydro-alt_endo

ImaJin®Hydro is the only hydrophilic silicone stent in the US and in randomized comparative trials, it achieved:

 
 

25%
reduction in biofilm formation11

 
 

25%
more comfort10
 

 
 

36%
less encrustation12
 

Additionally approved
for up to
12
months indwell

Stent Retrieval

Non-integrated reusable scopes require additional time and money averaging 4 hours per week and $10,000s in loss of revenue-generating procedures12*

Isiris® can reduce procedure time up to 12 minutes13 and over $8,000 in additional procedures

*Depending on site of service
*Based on 25 cystoscopies per week and 5 cystoscopies with stent removal per week/based on office-based facility fees
