BD Aptra™ Digital Endoscope System
When your choice is a single-use scope, you should expect enhanced image quality, a small outer diameter and maximum deflection.
- Overview
- EIFU & Resources
The BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope is our answer to the natural evolution of ureteroscopy: a single-use device combining essential visualization, increased functionality, and comfort. Without the unnecessary variabilities of reusable ureteroscopes—from unpredictable downtime and expensive repairs to diminishing performance and lifecycles. The BD Aptra™ Ureteroscope provides a responsive solution to meet the demands associated with increasing case numbers.

- 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.
- 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.
