Calyxo has developed the CVAC surgical system for kidney stone removal and the corresponding procedure called SURE. The company's device utilizes irrigation and vacuum aspiration during and after laser lithotripsy to extract stones from patients' kidneys, allowing physicians to completely remove stone fragments. Independent irrigation and aspiration channels ensure continuous flow. Four angled nozzles liquefy fragments for effective removal. Dynamic aspiration removes dust during lithotripsy and removes fragments after lithotripsy. The CVAC system demonstrated safety and superior stone removal in the landmark ASPIRE study.

Butterfly has designed an anatomically shaped nitinol implant, which is positioned in the prostatic urethra in order to open the space and relieve BPH symptoms. The device comes in multiple sizes, and, unlike more invasive approaches, does not require any resection, cutting, or burning of prostatic tissue. The procedure can be completed in under six minutes in the urologist’s office.

DEBN has developed an innovative prostate biopsy needle for urologists that reduces the incidence of infectious complications by delivering an optimal combination of antibiotics directly into the prostate, precisely where infections can occur. The device consists of a polymer-coated biopsy needle and an anesthetic needle, which release the drug directly into the prostate during the procedure. The very first DEBN model used polyvinyl alcohol and amikacin.
