So why not like just, you know, you have a three channel ureter scope, put on like a 60cc syringe. You've done some basketing and just aspirate.
I love it. I love it. So, you know, over the last, I think at least since I've been a trainee, which is getting further and further away, but in my prime ureteroscopy days, it was baskets and it was lasers. That was 2010, 2011. So surely you're not the first person or only person that's thought about this and come up with something. Are there other suction devices out there? Are they all...

Kind of similar or are they meaningfully different?

Okay. This one's a little bit harder for me to conceptualize. I'm thinking like, is it almost like a dual lumen? One is your suction element of it.

Exactly. Okay, okay. Yeah. So your scope has to be out for large fragments to actually come through. Exactly. Yeah, I'm sorry. So that's kind of like CVAC one. Yeah. Like you're deploying it ureoscopically wherever you want it.

with this flexible tip, you've done your business, fragmented, et cetera, then you pull out your scope and ostensibly the sheath remains in whatever calyx of interest or the pelvis, suction's out, then you take a look back up. Did it do a good job or not? Maybe you basket a few things and call it a day. Totally, exactly. You gotta go back up there, take a look at it,

Apart from the continuous irrigation and aspiration with CVAC, it's essentially a ureter scope with a larger working port. The DISC? Well, no, the disc sounds like it's a ureteroscope. It's a ureteroscope with two stopcocks on it. So that I get. I'm trying to understand how CVAC, which sounds like it's got a larger port to accommodate slightly larger fragments.

Like I'm envisioning, you know, you still have your camera, obviously. You have your light core light source coming through. And then you've got your suctioning and aspirating channels, and then ability to work through one of those.
