## Description of the Device:
The UroPass Access Sheath is a single use, sterile (EtO sterilized) disposable product. The sheath is made of layers of polyurethane and PTFE with a stainless steel coil sandwiched in between (the coil provides kink resistance). The sheath has a funnel at the proximal end to ease the insertion of an LDPE dilator. The dilator is equipped with a polypropylene luer connector for injection of irrigation or contrast. The dilator is removable from the sheath by means of a clip fixed to the luer connector. The outside of the sheath has a lubricious coating for ease of insertion into the ureter. For ease of visualization, the dilator and sheath are radiopaque. Two holes (suture loops) are incorporated into the funnel to facilitate attachment to surgical drapes for stabilization of the sheath during surgery.
