Zero Tip™ Nitinol Basket: Safe, Smart, and Surgical-Grade Stone Retrieval

Introducing the Zero Tip™ Nitinol Basket, a state-of-the-art solution for precise and gentle stone removal during urological procedures. Crafted with advanced superelastic nitinol, this basket is designed for superior flexibility, consistent performance, and enhanced patient safety.

Built for Performance: Superelastic Nitinol Technology

Its exceptional functionality stems from the use of top-quality superelastic nickel-titanium alloy, which forms the core of the basket’s design.This smart material has shape memory properties, allowing it to return to its original form even after tight deflection or compression inside the body. Surgeons can rely on predictable deployment and consistent basket formation, regardless of anatomical complexity.

Nitinol’s exceptional flexibility and kink resistance enable the basket to navigate tight ureters and tortuous renal paths without damage. Compared to stainless steel, it minimizes the risk of trauma while maintaining wire integrity under stress. Each basket is crafted using high-grade, medical-quality nitinol and undergoes strict batch testing to meet international regulatory standards.

Optimized Dimensions for Diverse Needs

The Zero Tip™ Basket comes in a practical Diameter Range. Common sizes include 1.9 Fr, 2.2 Fr, and 2.4 Fr. This range provides options suitable for different access sheaths and specific anatomical challenges. The smaller diameters facilitate access to tight spaces and lower calyces within the kidney.

Core Applications in Urology

With its adaptable design, this nitinol basket proves highly effective across various urological procedures, including:

• Ureteroscopy (URS): Navigates through flexible ureteroscopes to retrieve stones with accuracy.

• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Aids in removing residual stone fragments post-lithotripsy.

• Laser Fragment Collection: Specially optimized to recover tiny debris resulting from laser-based stone treatment.

• Rescue Procedures: Gently repositions impacted stones or retrieves migrated stent fragments with minimal trauma.

Why Choose Nitinol Over Stainless Steel?

Material selection is critical in urology. Here’s why nitinol baskets lead the way:

• Flexibility & Trackability: Nitinol’s elasticity ensures smoother navigation through curves and bends.

• Shape Memory: The basket consistently returns to its intended shape—unlike stainless steel, which may deform.

• Kink Resistance: Maintains functional integrity under stress.

• Patient Safety: Soft, flexible wires and the Zero Tip™ blunt design reduce mucosal damage.

The Zero Tip™ Edge: Designed for Safety

The defining feature—the Zero Tip™—refers to its blunt, rounded front end. This design significantly reduces the chance of injury when advancing the basket near delicate tissues. Surgeons can approach stones with enhanced confidence, knowing the risk of ureteral perforation is minimized.

Precision Engineering You Can Trust

Each nitinol basket is constructed with precisely formed wires that allow secure stone capture and controlled release. The ergonomically designed handle gives surgeons responsive control for basket manipulation, while the robust deployment system ensures smooth performance throughout the procedure.

Elevating Stone Management in Urology

The Zero Tip™ Nitinol Basket combines cutting-edge material science with urological expertise. From its superelastic nitinol construction to its low-trauma tip and clinical-grade precision, it sets the standard for safe, effective stone retrieval. For urologists who demand reliability, maneuverability, and patient safety, this nitinol basket offers a modern, superior alternative to traditional tools.
