  • PERCUTANEOUS EXTRACTOR
    Publication number: 20200352584
    Abstract: An extractor includes a rigid outer cannula forming a lumen extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end of the outer cannula. An inner cannula is slidably positioned within the lumen of the outer cannula. The inner cannula forms a central passage along a longitudinal axis of the inner cannula extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end of the inner cannula. A plurality of secondary passages are positioned about the central passage and extend along at least a portion of a length of the inner cannula between the proximal end and the distal end of the inner cannula. An annularly expanding and retracting extraction mechanism at the distal end of the inner cannula is operable to capture and extract kidney stones from within a lumen of a patient.
