    See how making the shift to disposable ureteroscopes, like BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope, has made a difference for Dr. Stoller, MD Professor and Vice Chair of Urology.

    The BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope offers:

    • Image quality enhanced with the light source inside the tip of the scope
    • Tapered 7.4 Fr. distal tip.
    • Design for maximum deflection to reach stones in the lower pole

    A ureteroscope is the cornerstone visualization tool of a urological procedure.

    Enhanced Image Quality

    • In simulated testing, data shows that the average resolution on the BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope is better than the LithoVue™ ureteroscope at all conclusive target distances.*
    • Camera module which produced an image resolution of 400 x 400 pixels.

    *Based on resolution bench-top testing at varying distances. May not be indicative of actual clinical performance.

    Designed for a greater maximum deflection angle

    • The BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope has a 5˚ greater maximum deflection angle than the LithoVue™ ureteroscope.**
    • Maximum deflection of 275˚ in two directions.

    **Information for LithoVue™ excerpted from literature published by Boston Scientific.

    Specially Engineered Tip

    ureteroscope
    • A 3.6 Fr. working channel, camera module, and two LEDs are all built into a tapered 7.4 Fr. tip.
    • LEDs at the tip for enhanced illumination and overall image quality.

    Handle Functionality

    • Ergonomic handle design & optimized location of access port and power cord for easier handling.
    • Two programmable buttons to control key functionalities (e.g. brightness, zoom) and up to 3 unique user profiles can be stored on the BD Aptra™ Image System.
