Urology: buying guides & advice

How to Choose Urology Equipment

Urology equipment encompasses the visualization, diagnostic, and therapeutic platforms used to evaluate and treat the lower and upper urinary tract — primarily flexible/rigid cystoscopes, semi-rigid and flexible ureteroscopes, nephroscopes, resectoscopes, urodynamics systems, and holmium/thulium laser lithotripters. Buyers include hospital ORs, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), urology group practices, and office-based labs (OBLs). Flexible cystoscopy is the most common office-based procedure performed by urologists, with approximately 1.2 million cystoscopies performed annually in the United States , making capacity planning a primary driver of capital decisions.
