Introduction

Kidney stones are one of the most common urinary system diseases, and ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is an advanced treatment technique. Under the precise guidance of the ureteroscope and in conjunction with an endoscopic imaging transmission system, the holmium laser fiber can be accurately positioned near the kidney stones. 

The holmium laser is a high-energy pulsed laser with a wavelength of 2.1 μm, which has a penetration depth of only 0.4 mm, causing minimal damage to surrounding soft tissues. 

The principle of stone fragmentation is primarily based on the photoacoustic effect and photothermal effect: the photoacoustic effect generates microbubbles from water molecules absorbing laser energy, and the forces produced during their expansion or collapse shatter the kidney stones; the photothermal effect utilizes the energy of the holmium laser to raise the local temperature, thereby decomposing the kidney stones. 

Application

In ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy, continuous water flow infusion is essential, as it satisfies multiple needs, including stone fragmentation, cooling, and maintaining clear endoscopic imaging. 

Research indicates that excessively high infusion flow rates during the procedure can lead to increased pressure within the renal pelvis; once it exceeds 30 mmHg, it may trigger a series of serious complications, including renal fluid reflux, perinephric extravasation, infection spread, and even renal function impairment and sepsis. In severe cases, it can lead to infectious shock. 

Therefore, dynamically balancing the infusion flow rate with negative pressure suction flow during surgery is crucial.

Y Medical Company has launched an infusion-suction medical device as an important auxiliary tool for ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. 

This device is equipped with the CG series clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensor, which can accurately monitor key information in real-time, including the infusion flow rate within the renal pelvis, negative pressure suction flow rate, cumulative volume, and flow direction. 

Y Medical Company has further integrated this device with advanced temperature and pressure control technologies, intelligently adjusting the temperature and pressure within the renal pelvis, greatly enhancing the safety and efficiency of the procedure.

This groundbreaking medical device has brought revolutionary changes to kidney stone treatment. Additionally, the workstation of the infusion-suction medical device is capable of fully recording data such as imaging, flow rate, temperature, and pressure throughout the surgical process, providing a solid scientific basis for the optimization of subsequent surgical plans and further accelerating the innovation and advancement of kidney stone treatment technologies.

Customer Value

  • Ensuring Clear Surgical Field.

    During the preparation phase of ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy, doctors rely on the images of the renal pelvis provided by electronic endoscopes and other imaging systems to accurately locate kidney stones and continuously monitor the entire fragmentation process. 

    To maintain the clarity and accuracy of the images returned by the endoscope, the CG series ultrasonic flow sensor plays a crucial role. It monitors the flow from the perfusion pump and negative pressure suction pump in real-time, ensuring that the surgical area is not disturbed by blood or foreign bodies, thereby providing the surgeon with an unobstructed and clear view.

  • Effectively Controlling the Temperature of the Surgical Area.

    Research data indicates that the flow rate of the perfusion fluid is a key factor in the thermal effects of holmium laser procedures. Increasing the flow rate of the perfusion fluid can effectively mitigate thermal effects, thereby reducing potential damage to surrounding tissues. 

    In ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy, the CG series ultrasonic flow sensor provides real-time monitoring of the perfusion fluid flow rate, which is crucial for helping patients avoid the risk of thermal damage and ensuring the safety of the procedure.

  • Improving Stone Fragmentation and Clearance Efficiency.

    In ureteroscopy holmium laser lithotripsy, continuous high-flow perfusion fluid, and negative pressure suction allow for simultaneous stone fragmentation and clearance instantly, significantly minimizing stone removal time. 

    This approach effectively increases the efficiency of stone fragmentation and clearance while reducing the residual stone rate. 
    The CG series ultrasonic flow sensor can measure the balance of perfusion and suction flow rate in real-time, ensuring real-time pressure in the surgical area remains within a safe range and preventing unnecessary risks.
