Description
MinervaGrasp is a sterile, single‑use flexible stent grasper engineered for safe, efficient ureteral stent removal under flexible cystoscopy. MinervaGrasp combines rat‑tooth jaws, a slim 1.8mm profile, and Oly Style Thumb Action Handle ergonomics to support secure stent capture and smooth passage through 2.0mm working channels.
MinervaGrasp single‑use flexible cystoscopy stent forceps provide a reliable alternative to reusable graspers for urinary stent retrieval. With a 1.8mm outer diameter and 60cm working length, these forceps are optimized for flexible cystoscopes with a minimum 2.0mm working channel, including the most common cystoscopes.
The rat‑tooth jaw design helps lock onto ureteral stents and foreign bodies, reducing the risk of slippage and repeat passes. A familiar Oly‑style thumb‑action handle gives urologists precise, one‑handed control while navigating the lower urinary tract. Each device is supplied sterile and ready‑to‑use, eliminating reprocessing steps and supporting infection‑prevention and room‑turnover protocols in busy cystoscopy suites.
Key Features
- Single‑use, sterile construction for every case, reducing cross‑contamination risk and simplifying reprocessing workflows.
- Rat‑tooth jaws for secure grasping of ureteral stents and other small objects during flexible cystoscopy, including encrusted distal coils.
- 1.8mm outer diameter and 60cm working length to access the bladder and distal ureter via flexible cystoscopes with 2.0mm channels.
- Minimum 2.0mm channel requirement for compatibility with the most common flexible cystoscopes.
- Oly‑style thumb‑action handle for intuitive control in facilities accustomed to Olympus‑pattern grasping forceps.
- FG‑53SX and FG‑253SX compatible profile, providing a disposable option that mirrors popular reusable designs without changing scope setup.
Clinical Use Cases
- MinervaGrasp is intended for ureteral stent retrieval and foreign body grasping in the lower urinary tract during flexible cystoscopy. It is suited for:
- Removal of indwelling ureteral stents with distal coils visible in the bladder.
- Retrieval of small foreign bodies or encrusted material accessible via flexible cystoscope.
- Outpatient clinics, ASCs, and hospital cystoscopy suites seeking faster room turnover and standardized instrument performance by eliminating reprocessing.
Technical Specifications

Key Benefits
- Infection control: Single‑use, sterile packaging reduces the risk of cross‑contamination compared with reusable graspers that depend on high‑quality reprocessing.
- Workflow efficiency: Ready‑to‑use instruments eliminate cleaning, tracking, and turnaround delays, supporting higher throughput in cystoscopy suites and ASCs.
- Consistent performance: A new device for every procedure avoids wear‑related jaw misalignment or handle stiffness seen with aging reusable instruments, and helps protect expensive cystoscopes from damage caused by worn accessories.
- Economic clarity: Shifts costs from unpredictable repair and reprocessing to a predictable per‑procedure disposable cost basis.
Why Choose MinervaGrasp?
MinervaGrasp gives urologists a dedicated single‑use solution that aligns with the channel sizes and working lengths used in flexible cystoscopy. For practices currently using reusable FG‑53SX or FG‑253SX grasping forceps, MinervaGrasp offers familiar ergonomics while removing the burden of decontamination, repairs, and asset management.
Compared with generic flexible forceps, MinervaGrasp’s rat‑tooth jaws and slim profile are optimized for reliable stent capture in smaller channels and complex anatomy. This helps reduce stent‑handling time and may decrease the need for repeat passes or additional instruments in routine stent‑removal lists.
