Peditrol
Comparison of Peditrol irrigation device and common methods of irrigation
Brian D M Blew 1, A Joel Dagnone, Kenneth T Pace, R John D'A Honey - J Endourol. 2005 Jun;19(5):562-5
The Peditrol is a novel hands-free irrigation device that delivers a bolus of irrigant through the ureteroscope when the foot pedal is deployed. The purpose of this study is to compare the flow and pressures created by the Peditrol with those of commonly used methods of irrigation.
Peditrol
Method of Hydraulic Pressure Dilation: Uropump vs Peditrol – a Prospective Comparative Study
K.Dattatray Wani, Prajay Shrivastav, Harbans Singh, Mahesh Desai - Poster Presentation
Since the popularization of rigid and flexible ureteroscopy, there has been a tremendous surge in the design and production of instruments for ureteral dilation. A prospective comparison of the safety and efficacy of Peditrol, in comparison to Uropump during ureteroscopy.
Understanding Renal Hydrodynamics
Mr Sunil Kumar, Consultant Urologist at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, UK
Peditrol provides intermittent irrigation, eliminating the need for forced flow, and as a result much more effective and adequate drainage of the renal pelvis is achieved between delivery of the low volume boluses.
Novel syphon ureteric access sheath has the potential to improve renal pressures and irrigant flow
John Lazarus and Lisa Kaestner
To describe a novel syphoning ureteric access sheath (UAS) intended for use during flexible ureterorenoscopy (URS). We aimed to assess if in vitro it could reduce intrarenal pressure (IRP) and increase irrigant flow compared to traditional UASs.
Beware the bolus size: understanding intrarenal pressure during ureteroscopic fluid administration
John Lazarus, Pawel Wisniewski, Lisa Kaestner
Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and laser lithotripsy for ureteric and renal calculi requires adequate irrigation for visualisation. This study aimed to evaluate how bolus administration of irrigant fluid impacts intrarenal pressure (IRP) during FURS. We also investigated how ureteral access sheaths (UAS) of varying sizes mitigate elevated IRP.
