The embodiments of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus used in ureteroscopy, a widespread method of treating kidney stones by enclosing the stone in a sheath before breaking it into a plurality of fragments with a fragmenting device. The configuration of the disclosed mesh top to a sheath may improve the practice of ureteroscopy by facilitating the removal of kidney stone fragments. The apparatus may comprise a sheath a mesh top comprising: a first end having an opening into the interior of the mesh top, and a second end being attached to the sheath and an enclosing means, wherein the mesh top is configured to: receive an object within an interior of the mesh top, enclose, via the enclosing means, the object within the mesh top, receive a fragmenting device through a second end, and retain fragments of the object caused by an operation of the fragmenting device.
