Novel small fragment removal system may improve extraction of renal calculi: an in vitro study
The described Small Fragment Removal System (SFRS) is different from traditional UASs by incorporating a syphoning mechanism. In addition, it has a Dual Action Pump which both boluses and augments the aspiration of irrigant by the Syphon. It further includes a deflectable Agitator to flush out stone fragments.
