Performance in a Class of Its Own

Gain an edge in FANS lithotripsy with our unique product combinations - designed to help you see, break, and remove stones in one seamless procedure.

SPEED

The AXIS II and Hoover combination delivers the fastest suction performance in both 10/12Fr and 11/13Fr sizes, leading in upper pole suction speed for rapid stone clearance¹.

FLEXIBILITY

The AXIS II and Hoover duo achieves the highest deflection ability, even across different working channel conditons².

EFFICIENCY

FANS with Thulio outpaces TFL by 2.5 minutes, achieving a 13-min median in lasing time³.

With the Hoover, we can completely do without stone retrieval baskets for extracting stone fragments. The stone dust generated by Thulio is removed via the Hoover sheath during the laser application. The step of removing fragments using baskets is no longer necessary.

The Hoover is effective in allowing removal of bigger stone pieces, making the procedure quicker. It is also more nimble inside the kidney than I expected.

FANS access sheath use has revolutionized how I perform ureteroscopy for stones, the newest generation suction sheaths with flexible tips allow you to put your sheath tip right where you are working to maximize flow while keeping intrarenal pressures low. Visualization is preserved in cases with cloudy urine, obscuring dust or bleeding, allowing you to achieve better stone free rates for your patients. Most satisfying are those cases with matrix stone that can't be lasered or grasped, and the suction sheath allows you to debride and remove all that material without requiring a PCNL.
