A product rendering shows how steering is built into the instrument. Clinical video then compares a standard basket with the FlexStone Basket in the same patient and at the same stone.
The physician controls basket deflection at the handle while working through a familiar flexible ureteroscope.
Clinical demonstration
Same stone. Different access.
A standard basket remains constrained by the scope trajectory. FlexStone adds distal steering to redirect the basket toward the stone.
The straight basket cannot redirect beyond the scope's working-channel trajectory.
Distal deflection redirects the basket toward the target without relying on scope deflection alone.
