1. Design & Structural Features

The Olympus UroPass 61224BX features a dual-durometer, hydrophilic-coated outer sheath combined with a lubricious, tapered inner dilator (6–12 Fr), facilitating smooth and atraumatic insertion through the urethra into the ureteral orifice. The sheath itself measures 12 Fr internal diameter and 14 Fr external diameter, spanning 24 cm, reinforced with a stainless-steel coil to resist kinking and sidewall collapse during navigation through challenging anatomy.

2. Usability & Operator Convenience

Its hydrophilic coating significantly reduces friction for both initial insertion and multiple ureteroscope passes. Radiopaque properties of both sheath and dilator enable accurate positioning under fluoroscopy. The design incorporates a one-handed thumb-tab snap-in locking mechanism for quick dilator release, while the funnel-shaped hub and suture holes aid in instrument guidance and secure fixation to drapes.

3. Clinical Applications & Advantages

This sterile and single-use sheath is intended to establish a durable working channel for flexible ureteroscopy, stone extraction, and other retrieval procedures. It allows multiple instrument exchanges while protecting the ureter from trauma and reducing procedure time. Its design streamlines urological workflows by facilitating easier scope passage and improved patient safety—particularly in cases with tortuous ureters.
