R57412 Rocket URIGLOW®­ Transilluminating Ureteric Stents

Rocket URIGLOW® Transiluminating Ureteric Stents provide rapid identification of the lower pelvic ureter during open and laparoscopic surgery.

• HIGH VISIBILITY in a wide range of operative conditions has been achieved by using a new type of optical fibre, ensuring better intra-operative performance and easier detection.

The Rocket URIGLOW® Light Guide Coupler (LGC) is a reusable precision optical device designed to absorb up to 90% of infra-red radiation present in the output of medical light sources. It safely and securely links fibre optic cables to the URIGLOW® Transilluminating Ureteric Stents.

• HIGH LEVEL IR ABSORPTION. The URIGLOW® LCG is designed to absorb up to 90% of light source IR output which means there is no detrimental heating effect in the ureter from high intensity light sources.
• ROBUST DESIGN. Solid stainless steel construction securely protects the delicate IR mirror and lens assembly.
• SECURE ATTACHMENT . The coupler will securely attach the URIGLOW® transilluminating stents to any standard Storz screw type light cable fitting.
• REUSABLE: The URIGLOW® Light Guide Coupler is designed for steam sterilisation.
