The Olympus URF-P3 is a flexible fiberoptic ureteroscope designed for diagnostic and therapeutic urologic procedures within the upper urinary tract, featuring a slim 2.8 mm outer diameter insertion tube and 70 cm working length for access to the ureter and renal collecting system. It offers a 90° forward field of view, 2–50 mm depth of field, and exceptional 180° up/down angulation to navigate calyces and facilitate stone fragmentation, biopsies, and other interventions through its 1.2 mm working channel supporting 3.5 Fr instruments.
Key features
- Slim insertion tube: 2.8 mm outer diameter with 70 cm working length (101 cm total) for flexible ureteral access without routine dilation.
- Working channel: 1.2 mm diameter with suction capability for irrigation, stone retrieval, and passage of 3.5 Fr accessories like baskets and laser fibers.
- Optics and angulation: 90° forward field of view, 2–50 mm depth of field, and 180° up/down deflection for comprehensive renal pelvis and calyceal visualization.
- Durable fiberoptic design: Engineered for repeated reprocessing including hydrogen peroxide sterilization (e.g., Sterrad NX) while maintaining image quality and deflection performance.
