Peditrol – Foot-Controlled Irrigation
Peditrol gives surgeons simple, responsive control of irrigation during flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy. Foot-operated control allows irrigation to be adjusted without taking the hands away from the procedure.
Key Features
Hands-Free Control
Control irrigation with your foot while keeping both hands focused on the procedure.
Immediate Response
Clear the visual field quickly with precise fluid volumes of less than 1 mL.
Controlled Volume
Each irrigation volume is limited to a maximum of 2.7 mL, helping to control changes in intra-renal pressure.
High-Flow Irrigation
Reliable irrigation is maintained even when the scope is fully flexed or loaded with instruments such as a laser fibre or basket.
Precise Volume Control
Fine, drop-by-drop control allows the surgeon to adjust irrigation to the needs of the procedure and helps minimise unwanted stone movement.
Stone Repositioning
Small fluid volumes can help move stones from difficult-to-reach locations, including the lower pole, to a more accessible position.
Hydrodistension
Controlled irrigation can help gently open the ureter ahead of stone retrieval and assist with access sheath placement.
Temperature Control
Continuous irrigation helps circulate water during dusting and popcorning, helping to manage localised temperature increases.
Ureteric Orifice Access
Controlled irrigation can assist with gently opening and identifying the ureteric orifice when access is difficult.
Ideal For
Peditrol is designed for flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy, particularly where precise irrigation, clear visibility and controlled fluid delivery are important.
It is suited to complex or prolonged procedures involving:
Stone fragmentation and retrieval
Difficult or tortuous anatomy
Laser and basket procedures
Stones in challenging locations
Precision Irrigation at Your Feet
Peditrol combines hands-free operation, rapid response and precise irrigation control to help surgeons maintain visibility and control throughout ureteroscopic procedures.
