RenaFlex

Olympus’s first single-use flexible ureteroscope, with 270° up/down angulation and auto white balance. Runs on the CV-S1 video system centre for single-use flexible endoscopes.

Olympus came to single-use ureteroscopy late, clearing RenaFlex with the FDA in April 2024, and the specification lands squarely on the same numbers as the LithoVue: 9.5 Fr outer diameter, 3.6 Fr channel, 270° both ways, 120° field of view. The pull for an existing Olympus site is the CV-S1 video system centre, shared across the company’s single-use flexible endoscopes. The announcement is a news release rather than a specification sheet, so several figures — working length among them — are not published in it.
