A stiffening device is disclosed that is adapted to cooperate with a flexible kidney stone extractor. The stiffening device includes a tube having a lumen sized to receive a part of flexible kidney stone extractor; a diversion member having a channel that is configured to receive a part of the flexible kidney stone extractor; and a connector coupled between the tube and the diversion member. The connector allows the channel of the diversion member to communicate with the lumen of the tube. A proximal portion of the connector is connected to the diversion member and a distal portion of the connector is connected to the tube.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy device

A wire basket includes a fixing disc element coupled with several wire strands. The wire strands extend between a front end of the wire basket and a rear end of the wire basket to define an orbital shape. The fixing disc element forms a front closure of the wire basket and has at least first and second through-openings. A first of the wire strands is formed from a first wire segment that is looped through the first of the through-openings of the fixing disc element along a path extending from the rear end of the wire basket forward through the fixing disc element to form a U-shaped deflection that is looped through a separate second of the through-openings of the fixing disc element along a path extending from the fixing disc element to the rear end of the wire basket.
