The CVAC System is a vacuum-assisted retrieval device that utilizes laser lithotripsy, microjet irrigation, and dynamic aspiration to efficiently remove kidney stone fragments in a single insertion. The SURE Procedure, performed exclusively with this system, achieves superior stone clearance rates compared to standard ureteroscopy, enhancing patient outcomes in kidney stone treatment.

Problem
Standard ureteroscopy for kidney stone removal often leaves residual stone fragments, necessitating repeat procedures and potentially leading to complications. Existing methods lack efficient mechanisms for complete stone clearance during a single intervention.
Solution
The CVAC System is a vacuum-assisted retrieval device designed to improve kidney stone removal during ureteroscopy. It integrates laser lithotripsy for fragmenting stones, microjet irrigation to enhance visibility, and dynamic aspiration to remove stone fragments in a single insertion. The SURE (Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation) Procedure, performed exclusively with the CVAC System, aims to achieve superior stone clearance rates compared to standard ureteroscopy, potentially reducing the need for secondary procedures.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes urologists and medical professionals specializing in kidney stone treatment, as well as hospitals and surgical centers performing ureteroscopy procedures.
Features
- Integrated laser lithotripsy for effective stone fragmentation.
- Microjet irrigation system to maintain a clear field of vision during the procedure.
- Dynamic aspiration technology for efficient removal of stone fragments.
- Vacuum-assisted retrieval mechanism to capture and extract fragments.
- Steerable ureteroscopic design for precise navigation within the kidney.
- Single-insertion approach to minimize procedural steps.
