Be ready for them all

No two patients present the same anatomical challenges or health conditions. No two stones are alike. Your focus is to provide treatment options that help your patients become stone-free as quickly and safely as possible. Boston Scientific offers you an extensive portfolio of medical devices designed to treat your patients.

A simplified route to stone free results?

Over 2,200 urologists rely on Boston Scientific technologies for stone treatment procedures1. Some examples out of the stone portfolio include:

MOSES™ 2.0 Technology*

Holmium laser continues to be a highly versatile technology for lithotripsy with rigorous scientific evidence.2

MOSESTM 2.0 Technology demonstrated nearly 20% reduction in procedure time, 38% improvement in fragmentation efficiency and 50% reduction in stone retropulsion compared to regular holmium lasers.3

*The MOSES ™ 2.0 Technology is inclusive of all MOSES ™ 1.0 setting and features.

Tria™ Ureteral Stent

Urine calcium and magnesium salt deposits are contributing factors to stent complications such as encrustation. 4,5.
The Tria stent may help control the accumulation of both magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) Salt.6,7

In an ethnographic research effort, Boston Scientific identified the most vital avenues for ureteroscopy innovation. We interviewed healthcare professionals involved in every step of the treatment of kidney stones and found inspiration for new approaches.

7. Study methodology: Testing was performed by an independent third-party using the in-vitro BEST™ method to evaluate salt adhesion of the ureteral stents. A total of 30 samples from each ureteral stent family were tested in both a sterile Artificial Urine Model and a Bacterial Infection Model (n=15 in each model) for 2 weeks. Proteus mirabilis was used as the microbial challenge in the Bacterial Infection Model due to its known urease production and involvement in struvite formation.
