title: Flexible tip ureteral catheters in clinical practice.
abstract: An ideal ureteral catheter has been produced and subjected to extensive clinical trial. Its safe, flexible tip permits passage into almost every orifice and ureter, regardless of its configuration, tortuosity or degree of obstruction. The flexi-tip catheter meets all of the criteria of the theoretical ideal ureteral catheter. It would appear to be the catheter of choice for most clinical situations and should be a welcome addition to the urologist's armamentarium.
