A rigid optical ureteroscope is a specialized endoscope designed for direct visualization and treatment of the ureter, the tube linking the kidney to the bladder. Clinically, it enables procedures like stone fragmentation (lithotripsy), tissue biopsies, tumor removal, and correction of blockages or strictures within 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 protocols to ensure safety and performance for repeated use in clinical settings.
