A MINI PCNL Sheath is a small, specialized tube used in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to provide access to the kidney for stone removal through a small incision, designed for minimal invasive procedures.
Key Features:
Small diameter (typically 12–15 Fr) for less invasive kidney access
Flexible or rigid options to accommodate the nephroscope and instruments
Durable material (usually stainless steel or medical-grade polymer)
Smooth surface for easier insertion and reduced trauma
Radiopaque tip for visibility under imaging
Working channel for passing instruments like lasers, baskets, or stone retrieval tools
Uses:
Access to the kidney for stone removal in MINI PCNL procedures
Provides a safe pathway for nephroscopes and other instruments
Minimizes incision size and post-operative recovery time
Used in smaller or more complex renal stones where a traditional nephroscope would be too large
