The Applied Forté® Plus deflecting renal access sheath provides a continuous working channel, simplifying ureteroscopic procedures. The Forté sheaths are clinically proven to reduce O.R. time, eliminate the need for balloon dilators and aid in washing out stone fragments1,2,3. The Forté Plus sheath provides continual access to the calices of the kidney by the use of a simple mechanism that provides up to 180° deflection. It resists kinking even in the most tortuous anatomy.
