Brisbane, Australia—Cook Medical today announced the commercial launch of a new product for its Urology specialty. The Syfonix® Suction Ureteral Access Sheath is now available in Australia.
Syfonix is designed to give physicians fingertip control of suction during ureteroscopic kidney stone management procedures. With inner diameter ranges from 9 Fr to 12 Fr, the sheath establishes a working channel to facilitate the passage of endoscopes and ancillary instruments into the urinary tract. It is a single-use device.
Syfonix is designed to assist in stone management procedures. It’s part of Cook Medical’s full portfolio of urological disposables. Cook is proud to be a trusted source for a full line of disposables and the latest laser technology for urological healthcare providers.

“Suction sheaths are a critical part of improving stone management procedures. Syfonix gives physicians seamless control of suction without having to break focus or rely on additional staff,” said Johan Lowinger, director of global product management for Urology at Cook Medical. “With the Syfonix sheath now available, we’re excited to offer healthcare providers in Australia a solution that reflects direct feedback from the urology community.”
“Suction sheaths are one of the newest tools urologists have to help ensure patients get stone-free in a minimally invasive manner. Now that we have added Syfonix to our product portfolio, we’re giving physicians a full line of products to customise their treatment plan to the specific patient they’re treating. Commercialising these products in Australia is an important milestone for Cook as we work alongside our clinical partners to further advance treatments in stone management,” said Shayna Martin, director of sales for Cook Medical’s Urology specialty.
