High-definition fiber ureteroscope T-URS

wide-anglesemi-rigidwith working channel

Overview The T-URS platform by OPTEC is a next-generation semi-rigid ureterorenoscope offered in three shaft diameters (8/9.8 Fr, 6/7.5 Fr, 4.5/6.5 Fr) and two working lengths (430 mm standard / 315 mm short, suffix "S"). Key engineered features include HD fiber-bundle optics, a sapphire-sealed distal tip lens, a laser-welded water‑tight flush adapter, a dual-layer auto-closing instrument valve, a columnar anti-deformation ocular mirror and a universal ocular connector compatible with major camera systems.

Engineering Highlights

• Sapphire tip lens — scratch-resistant, chemically inert sapphire-sealed distal lens for long-lasting optical clarity after repeated sterilization.
• HD fiber-bundle optics — high-density fiber bundles for bright illumination and crisp HD-quality image transmission.
• Laser-welded flush adapter — precision laser welding ensures a water-tight seal preserving irrigation pressure and preventing leak paths.
• Dual-layer sealer + auto-closing valve — maintains working-channel integrity during accessory exchanges with no fluid loss.
• Columnar anti-deformation ocular mirror — engineered to prevent spherical deformation and preserve undistorted imaging across the field of view.
• Stainless steel + titanium alloy shaft — medical-grade materials for durability with controlled semi-rigid flexibility suitable for atraumatic ureteral access.

Clinical Applications

• Ureterolithiasis — laser lithotripsy of ureteral and renal stones (compatible with Ho:YAG and Thulium fiber laser systems).
• Diagnostic ureteroscopy — direct visualization of ureter and renal pelvis with wide field of view.
• Upper-tract urothelial carcinoma — targeted biopsy under direct vision using matched 3 Fr / 4 Fr / 5 Fr biopsy forceps.
• Renal foreign-body retrieval — stone baskets and grasping forceps through the appropriate working channel.
• Ureteral stricture assessment — inspection and guidewire placement under visual control.
• Pyeloscopy — inspection of the renal collecting system including infundibula and calyces.

Platform & Variants The T-URS platform supports three sizes (Large / Medium / Slim) that share the sapphire tip, HD optics and universal ocular interface. Each size is available in 430 mm (standard) and 315 mm (short, suffix "S").

Why it pays for itself

• Reusable design validated for steam autoclave sterilization at 134 °C — reduces per-case disposable costs.
• Sapphire tip and titanium-alloy shaft maintain optical and mechanical performance across many sterilization cycles.
• Universal ocular connector integrates with existing camera systems (Storz, Wolf, Olympus, Stryker, etc.) — no new camera investment required.
• One reusable platform across three diameters reduces the need for multiple single-use scope kits.
• Compatibility with OPTEC laser systems enables a consolidated stone-management workflow.
