Minerva Ureteral Access Sheath

The Minerva Ureteral Access Sheath is commonly used during ureteroscopy procedures, particularly for treating kidney stones or performing other interventions in the urinary tract.

• The sheath's hydrophilic coating minimizes friction, making ureteral dilation smoother and less traumatic.
• Its tapered tip is designed for gradual expansion, ensuring easy and controlled advancement.
• Reinforced with a stainless steel coil, the sheath resists kinking, providing reliable strength and stability through complex ureteral pathways.

Improves Access and Facilitates Re-entry:

The sheath provides a direct and stable pathway to the ureter, allowing for repeated insertion and withdrawal of instruments without causing trauma to the ureteral lining.

Protects the Ureter:

By reducing friction and trauma, the sheath minimizes injury to the ureter during the procedure, which is especially helpful during prolonged or complex cases.

Enhances Stone Fragment Removal:

Fragments of kidney stones can be easily retrieved by passing a basket or grasping tool through the sheath. It also allows for continuous irrigation to flush out stone debris.

Maintains Continuous Drainage:

The sheath facilitates irrigation and prevents fluid buildup by allowing simultaneous drainage, ensuring a clear view for the surgeon.

Reduces Intraoperative Pressure:

By providing a pathway for fluid egress, it reduces the risk of increased intrarenal pressure, which can minimize complications such as infection or injury.

Shortens Procedure Time:

Repeated insertion of instruments without the need for constant repositioning saves time, making procedures more efficient.
