The March 2013 Urology SI* comparative study recommends the TRI-CLAW™ for evaluation by Ureteroscopists. The In Vitro study demonstrated the TRI-CLAW™ provided the strongest overall grip strength for capturing smooth stones.
The TRI-CLAW's patented concave wire provides this strength. The "C" shape of the reinforced wire is a design advance that improves product performance.
The multi-point radial tip design creates 2 points of contact on each wire. More points of contact increases capture rate.
The TRI-CLAW allows urologists to utilize a "head on" direct capture technique. More importantly, the surgeon is able to release a stone, minimizing the risk and complications of an object being stuck in a retrieval basket.
The TRI-CLAW's muscular 3 wire design improves the "catch and release" function desired in effective stone retrieval.
Product Code # 240115 – 2.4FR 115cm length TRI-CLAW™ Grasper.
