Cook Medical Launches Syfonix Suction Sheath and Ascend Flexible Ureteroscope to Advance Stone Management

Cook Medical has announced the commercial introduction of two innovative products into the Urology specialty: the Syfonix Suction Ureteral Access Sheath and the 7.5 Fr Ascend 1 Single-Use Flexible Ureteroscope. The products are currently in the U.S. and Canada and are expected to enhance accuracy and efficiency in minimally invasive kidney stone management procedures.

Enhancing Precision in Kidney Stone Treatment

A new 7.5 Fr size is available to complement this addition to the Ascend Single-Use Flexible Ureteroscope. The resulting larger size spectrum can enable physicians to fit procedures more closely to the anatomy of the patient to enhance ease and dexterity in the process of stone management. The devices can be used in total compatibility with each other, which provides a combined solution facilitating clinical performance.

Said Shayna Martin, Cook Medical, “The introduction of Syfonix and the Ascend 7.5 Fr ureteroscope has allowed us to add to our portfolio. Physicians have access to deliver even more personalized and minimally invasive treatment of stones, and it has been an important milestone in the development of care, working together with our clinical partners in the United States and Canada.

According to Precedence Research, the endourology instruments & consumables market size was calculated at USD 1.45 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 1.56 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 3.10 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 7.90% from 2026 to 2035, motivated by the current trend of urological conditions and ever-growing use of minimally invasive surgeries.
