Endourology and ESWL SOLIDFLEXTM - THE FOURTH GENERATION IN ENDOSCOPY

METHODS: This new endoscope called SolidFlexTM has been brought to light with the latest technology to provide surgeons of every age the capabilities to carry out any possible endoscopic procedure. SolidFlexTM is state-of-the-art in both design and construction, giving the instrument a much better balance with only one third of the weight of the usual flexible endoscope. The Instrument is ergonomic, intuitive (instinctive perception) and coherent, meaning that the handle control moves the instrument’s active flexible section towards predictable, pre-selected areas, driving the procedure fluidly throughout. It provides the stability of a rigid and semi-rigid instrument with the exploration capabilities of the flexible endoscope in order to achieve the best means of rendering a patient 100% stone free.
