Nexmed Global now offering Ascend™ Single-Use Flexible Ureteroscope in US and Canada

“As a single-use scope, Ascend is the perfect complement to our portfolio. Physicians can complete procedures faster because they won’t have to wait for scopes to be reprocessed; Ascend is always ready,” said Johan Lowinger. “To make this product even more accessible, Ascend is eligible for the Medicare Transitional Pass-through (TPT) payment program used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). We are excited to make the Ascend ureteroscope, along with our other urology products, available to customers.”

The Ascend scope is always ready to use and doesn’t come with the issues commonly seen with reusable ureteroscopes, such as scope fatigue, reprocessing and missing or broken parts. Ascend comes with a variety of features to help aid surgeons when performing complex urologic procedures, including features such as:

· 275 degree up/down deflection

· Deflection lock that retains the angle of deflection needed

· Standard and reverse model offering

· Enhanced illumination with transparent distal tip
