Ureteral stent-placement set

A ureteral stent-placement set is a collection of instruments designed to assist in inserting a ureteral stent—either through the natural urinary route or via percutaneous access—while navigating the ureter’s often complex anatomy. These sets help ensure proper stent positioning to relieve obstructions, manage kidney stones, or support drainage during procedures like ureteroscopy.

These devices are typically single-use and may include components like guidewires, dilators, and sheaths, often made from materials like stainless steel or polymers. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as medical devices and must meet safety and performance standards before market entry.
