Clinical Research

 

The following highlights the research conducted with the PercSys Accordion® Stone Management Device and the Accordion Coax™ Stone Control Device to learn how these may benefit physicians, medical institutions, and patients. PercSys supported research has been presented at numerous annual urology society meetings around the world.
