Bloomington, Ind. — Cook Medical today announced the commercial launch of two products from its Urology specialty. The Syfonix® Suction Ureteral Access Sheath and the 7.5 Fr Ascend™ Single-Use Flexible Ureteroscope are available in the United States and Canada.
Syfonix is designed to give physicians fingertip control of suction during ureteroscopic kidney stone management procedures. With inner diameter ranges from 9 Fr to 12 Fr, the sheath establishes a working channel to facilitate the passage of endoscopes and ancillary instruments into the urinary tract. It is a single-use device.
