Flexiva™ TracTip
Laser Fiber

The patient is recovering nicely, but the scope could be in critical condition.

Protect your scope with the Flexiva TracTip Laser Fiber.

While laser lithotripsy can bring critical relief to your patients, it can also inflict serious and costly damage to the working channel of your flexible ureteroscope.

The Flexiva TracTip Fiber offers a unique design and exclusive FlexShieldTM Coating that maximizes performance and scope protection.

A clinical evaluation of 98 consecutive procedures using Flexiva TracTip Fiber demonstrated no observed scope damage related to the fiber and no fiber fractures with deflection.1

Trackability with Ball Tip

  • Polished and reinforced ball-shaped output tip has the ability to track through a fully deflected scope without damage to the scope liner or optics.
  • Designed to reduce potential steps associated with the initial advancement of a deflected laser fiber to the treatment site.*
