Ascend 8.6 Fr

Single-use flexible ureteroscope with lockable deflection and a dual-LED transparent distal tip. Standard and reverse configurations (ASUS-86-300S / 300R).

The 8.6 Fr Ascend is Cook’s original single-use ureteroscope and is positioned in the brochure as an everyday scope, a backup when a reusable scope is unavailable, or the option of choice for difficult cases. The transparent dual-LED distal tip lights the surrounding tissue as well as the target. Deflection locks with a switch. It runs on the ASUS-IPD-V100 processor, a 10.1-inch unit.
