Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: what size stone particles can be cleared?
BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S71-S77, March 2026.Objectives To perform benchtop experiments on flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (UASs) to determine the clearance capabilities for various stone sizes when paired with different‐sized ureteroscopes. Methods Quartz stones were used as a surrogate for renal stones.
