Peditrol Irrigation System
Flow Control
This revolutionary device is capable of dual flow, i.e. background low intensity flow regulated by hydrostatic pressure (proportionate to the height of the bag with fluid above the patients level), and accelerated flow dependent on force applied by the surgeon to the foot pedal.
Background flow
When the bag containing irrigation fluid is suspended high above the patient`s level, there is constant background flow of irrigation fluid through ureteroscope (high hydrostatic pressure). The flow can be further increased by the use of the Peditrol pump. This is especially useful during flexible ureteroscopy when the working channel is often partially obstructed by the laser fibre or basket.
No background flow
When the bag containing irrigation fluid is suspended at the patient`s level, there is no background flow of irrigation fluid. The only flow in this configuration will be due to compression of the Peditrol pump (accelerated flow). This is especially useful when approaching an unstable ureteric stone with a rigid ureteroscope as very precise, drop by drop irrigation control can be achieved.
