A flexible fibreoptic ureteroscope is a specialized endoscope designed for visualizing and treating conditions within the ureter, the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. Clinically, it’s used for procedures like biopsies, stone removal (lithotripsy), tumor treatment, and correcting obstructions or strictures in the upper urinary tract.
These devices are typically reusable and regulated as medical instruments, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They require proper sterilization and maintenance to ensure safety and performance for repeated use in clinical settings.
