4A Amplatz Sheath

SKU: 4A-UR-0012

The Amplatz Sheath is a thin-walled, semi-rigid conduit inserted over Amplatz renal dilators during percutaneous renal procedures. Functioning as a secure working channel between the flank skin and the renal pelvis, it maintains intrarenal pressure control, protects surrounding soft tissue, and allows easy passage and retrieval of nephroscopes and stone fragments.

Key Benefits

  • Low-Profile Thin Wall: Maximizes internal lumen diameter for instrument passage while minimizing external tract diameter.
  • Radiopaque Material: Ensures continuous fluoroscopic visualization of the sheath tip position relative to the renal calyx.
  • Kink Resistance: Reinforced polymer structure resists compression from thick fascial layers and flank muscle tissue.
  • Atraumatic Beveled Tip: Smoothly tapered distal end reduces tissue shearing during insertion over the leading dilator.
  • Efficient Fluid Evacuation: Promotes rapid backflow of irrigation fluid, lowering intrarenal pressure during nephroscopy.
