Exclusive Distribution Partnership: KARL STORZ and Well Lead Medical to Introduce ClearPetra Stone-Removal System in the U.S.

3 May 2024

KARL STORZ United States recently announced an exclusive agreement with Well Lead Medical to introduce the ClearPetra suction-evacuation ureteral access sheath alongside KARL STORZ's endoscopic visualization devices for comprehensive urinary stone management.

The ClearPetra ureteral access sheath employs negative-pressure aspiration, facilitating efficient continuous-flow lithotripsy for stone removal. With its newly added flexible tip, the sheath can now be navigated into the kidney's calyces for the extraction of renal stones.

This collaboration aims to revolutionize endourology, enhancing patient care and surgical outcomes.

Michael Hendershot, Vice President of Urology and Gynecology Sales and Marketing at KARL STORZ United States, expressed excitement about offering this clinically distinctive technology, which complements their existing solutions for urologists.

Duan Songfeng, Vice General Manager of International Sales & Marketing Research Institute at Well Lead Medical, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in their commitment to advancing endourology, stating that the innovative ClearPetra technology, combined with KARL STORZ's expertise, will empower urologists to achieve superior surgical results.

KARL STORZ invites attendees of the American Urological Association conference in San Antonio from May 3 to 5 to visit their booth and experience ClearPetra firsthand, learning about its potential impact on urinary stone treatment.

During the conference, KARL STORZ will host a Tech Talk on May 4th from 10:00 to 10:25 a.m. at Booth #1733. Dr. Sri Sivalingam from the Cleveland Clinic will share his experience using ClearPetra and its practical applications for stone aspiration in PCNL and flexible ureteroscopy procedures.
