title: The guide-eye ureteral access system.
abstract: Equipping ureteral instruments with the guide-eye feature has expanded the instrumentation options available to urologists. The guide-eye facilitates repetitive instrument access, allows coordinated instrument combinations, and enhances sequential placement of a series of instruments. We believe this concept increases the safety and efficacy of our present instruments and clearly encourages innovative designs for the future.
