摘要:
Devices and methods can be used for the dilation of body conduits. For example, this document provides devices and methods for dilating a ureter using a dissolvable dilator element that is compatible with an ureteroscope system. Such a dissolvable dilator can be advanced into a patient's ureter via the urologic guidewire in front of the ureteroscope, giving immediate, one-step Cureteral access and offering less ureteral trauma at an economical price point.
