New suction device may improve kidney stone removal
NCT ID NCT07101809
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new device called the CVAC system that uses suction during a scope procedure to remove kidney stones. It compares how well this works versus the usual method (laser and no suction) in 150 adults. The main goal is to see if the new tool leaves fewer stone fragments behind.
