Single-Use Flexible Ureteroscopes
Digital visualization designed around upper-tract access.
Flexible ureteroscopy brings visualization and treatment instruments through the ureter into the renal collecting system. A single-use flexible ureteroscope is designed for one procedure and does not require the multi-cycle reprocessing programme associated with reusable scopes. Evaluation should nevertheless consider imaging performance, maneuverability, accessory compatibility, total procedural cost and the associated display platform.
Category overview · availability by enquiryEvaluate the device as part of the system.
The scope is only one component of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Deflection characteristics under accessory loading, irrigation behaviour, distal-tip dimensions and usable working-channel space can affect how the entire system is assembled. Device selection should be based on the manufacturer’s actual technical information and the centre’s clinical workflow.
Typical clinical context
Flexible ureteroscopy for upper urinary-tract assessment and endoscopic stone-management procedures where the device is appropriately indicated.

Frequently asked questions
Category guidance—not a substitute for the selected model’s instructions for use.
Are all single-use ureteroscopes compatible with the same monitor?
No. Processor, connector and software requirements vary. Confirm the approved system pairing for the selected model.
Does single-use automatically mean better outcomes?
No. Single-use changes reprocessing and logistics requirements, but clinical performance depends on multiple variables and available evidence.
