In a controlled silicone kidney model, CVAC 2.0 outperformed a FANS sheath system for moderate-to-larger stone fragments across clearance efficiency, residual volume, and surgeon ergonomics, though the authors note the model was designed to isolate aspiration mechanics rather than replicate full clinical procedures.
"We...observed an exceedingly high degree of safety across the board, with very few complications,” says Jared S. Winoker, MD.
