    A novel looped catheter simplifies ureteric stone retrieval. This cost-effective device, made from accessible materials, achieved a 71.4% success rate in dislodging stones in 46 patients with few complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Ureteric stones pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Existing retrieval methods can be complex or costly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the fabrication and efficacy of a simple looped catheter for ureteric stone retrieval.
    • To evaluate the success rate and safety of this novel device.

    Main Methods:

    • A custom-designed looped catheter was fabricated using inexpensive, readily available materials.
    • The device was used in a series of 46 patients undergoing ureteric stone retrieval.

    Main Results:

    • Successful passage of the looped catheter was achieved in 28 out of 46 patients.
