Product overviewOPTEC T-URS semi-rigid ureteroscope platform available 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 S-version). HD fiber-bundle optics, sapphire-sealed tip lens, laser-welded water-tight flush adapter, dual-layer instrument-channel sealer with automatic closing valve, columnar anti-deformation ocular mirror and universal ocular connector (compatible with major camera brands). CE certified; validated for steam autoclave sterilization at 134 °C (reusable).
Engineering highlights- Sapphire tip lens: scratch-resistant, chemically inert distal lens sealed with sapphire for long-term optical clarity under repeated sterilization.
- HD fiber-bundle optics: high-density fiber bundle for bright illumination and crisp HD image transmission.
- Laser-welded flush adapter: precision laser welding ensures a water-tight seal between shaft and flush adapter to maintain irrigation integrity.
- Dual-layer sealer + auto-closing valve: maintains instrument channel integrity during accessory exchanges (no fluid loss, continuous irrigation).
- Columnar anti-deformation ocular mirror: prevents spherical deformation to preserve undistorted imagery across the field of view.
- Materials: medical-grade stainless steel and titanium alloy shaft construction for durability and controlled semi-rigid flexibility.
Clinical applications- Ureterolithiasis — laser lithotripsy (Ho:YAG, Thulium fiber), compatible with OPTEC Thulium Duo.
- Diagnostic ureteroscopy — direct visualization of ureter and renal pelvis (84° FOV for larger diameters).
- Upper tract urothelial carcinoma — targeted biopsy under direct vision using matching biopsy forceps (3 Fr / 4 Fr / 5 Fr).
- Renal foreign body retrieval — stone baskets and grasping forceps via 3 Fr / 4 Fr / 5 Fr working channels.
- Ureteral stricture assessment and guidewire placement under direct vision.
- Pyeloscopy — inspection of collecting system including infundibula and calyces.
