New DORNIER MEDTECH Cascade CAS60VR

The Dornier Cascade CAS60VR is a sterile, single-use ureteral stent designed to relieve ureteral obstruction due to stones, strictures, malignancy, trauma, or in conjunction with procedures like ESWL. The stent is constructed from a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, compounded with barium sulfate for radiopacity, and features a hydrophilic coating that is activated by fluid to reduce friction for easier, less traumatic insertion and removal. The CAS60VR model specifically refers to a 6 French (Fr) diameter stent with variable lengths (typically 22–32 cm).
Key Features:
Double Pigtail Design: Secures the stent in place at both renal and bladder ends to minimize migration.
Hydrophilic Coating: Activated by fluid, this coating creates a smooth surface for easy passage through delicate ureteral tissue.
Radiopaque: Barium sulfate compounding ensures clear visualization under fluoroscopy or X-ray.
Graduation Marks: Facilitate accurate placement and positioning during insertion.
Drainage Holes: Along the shaft and at both pigtail ends for optimal urine drainage.
Monofilament Tether: Attached to the bladder end for easy repositioning and removal.
One-Step Insertion System: Includes a pigtail straightener for simplified placement over a guidewire.
Sterile, Single-Use: Labeled for a maximum 30-day indwell time.
Available Sizes: 4.9–8.0 Fr diameters, lengths from 14–32 cm; CAS60VR is 6 Fr, variable length (typically 22–32 cm)
