Peditrol Foot-Controlled Irrigation System

Under­stand­ing the low com­pli­ance of the kid­ney and the lim­i­ta­tions of flu­id drainage from the renal pelvis led to the design of a sys­tem that lim­its the vol­ume of irri­ga­tion bolus­es, avoids forced con­tin­u­ous hydra­tion, and reduces the total amount of flu­ids used dur­ing the pro­ce­dure.

The system provides a safer method of irrigation, allowing the physician to maintain constant control over the rate and force of bolus delivery.

The inter­mit­tent nature of flu­id deliv­ery pro­vides time between bolus­es, simul­ta­ne­ous­ly con­trol­ling intrarenal pres­sure. The max­i­mum bolus vol­ume is lim­it­ed to less than 3 ml, pre­vent­ing kid­ney over­fill.

Additional Features of Peditrol:

• Serves as an addi­tion­al tool to facil­i­tate stone manip­u­la­tion (ele­vat­ing the stone, chang­ing its posi­tion)
• Ensures excel­lent vis­i­bil­i­ty by remov­ing clots from the ureter
• Assists in ureter­al access by safe­ly expand­ing the ureter­al ori­fice
• Oper­ates in two flow sys­tems: con­tin­u­ous, gen­er­at­ed by hydro­sta­t­ic pres­sure, and forced, depen­dent on the pres­sure applied to the pump.
