Nitinol Stone Retrieval Baskets
Stone capture depends on access, geometry and control.
Stone retrieval baskets are designed to capture and manipulate selected urinary stone fragments during endoscopic procedures. Nitinol is used in many basket designs because of its elastic recovery and ability to form flexible wire structures. Tipless, tipped and other basket geometries serve different handling requirements; device characteristics and surgeon preference matter.
Category overview · availability by enquiryEvaluate the device as part of the system.
Retrieval instruments pass through limited working-channel space while the scope may be deflected. The basket’s outer diameter, opening configuration, wire arrangement and handle mechanics should therefore be considered alongside the scope, fragment size and access route.
Typical clinical context
Endoscopic stone capture, manipulation and retrieval in appropriate URS/RIRS or other labelled urological procedures.

Frequently asked questions
Category guidance—not a substitute for the selected model’s instructions for use.
Is one basket shape ideal for every fragment?
No. Basket geometry, stone size/location and endoscopic access influence device selection.
Does “nitinol” specify the whole device design?
No. It identifies a material used in the basket; tip, shaft, wire pattern and handle still vary.
