AZORRA LLC Revolutionizes Staghorn Calculus Treatment with Innovative In-Stag Horn Solution

Fort Lauderdale, FL – October 26, 2023 – AZORRA LLC, a medical device company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is making waves in the urology field with its groundbreaking in-stag horn solution designed to drastically improve the treatment of complex kidney stones – specifically, staghorn calculi. These notoriously difficult stones, which fill a large portion of the kidney’s collecting system, have traditionally posed significant challenges for both patients and physicians. But AZORRA thinks they’ve found a better way. For years, treating staghorn stones meant lengthy hospital stays, multiple procedures, and a lot of discomfort for patients. Options typically involved percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) - a pretty invasive surgery where a hole is made in your back to get at the stone - or a combination of PCNL and ureteroscopy, which involves snaking a tiny camera up your urethra to break up stones. Recovery could take weeks, even months, and the risk of complications was definitely there. "We saw a real need for something better," explains Dr. Emily Carter, AZORRA’s Chief Medical Officer. "Patients were really suffering. We asked ourselves, ‘Can we do something to make this whole process less traumatic, quicker, and safer?’ That question led us to developing our in-stag horn solution." So, what is this in-stag horn solution? Essentially, it's a specially designed, flexible device that's inserted directly into the kidney, reaching deep inside the staghorn calculus. Instead of relying solely on breaking up the stone from the outside, the AZORRA device allows surgeons to work within the stone itself. "Think of it like cleaning out a really cluttered room," explains Mark Johnson, AZORRA’s VP of Sales. “You can try to throw things out the window, or you can go inside the room and systematically sort through everything. Our device lets surgeons ‘sort through’ the staghorn calculus, carefully removing the stone fragments from within, minimizing trauma to the surrounding kidney tissue.” The device utilizes a unique combination of features. It incorporates a high-resolution camera for excellent visualization, and a range of miniature instruments designed to grasp, break up, and extract stone fragments. The flexibility of the device is key – it can navigate the complex anatomy of the staghorn calculus with ease, reaching even the most difficult-to-access areas. How Does it Work in Practice? During a procedure, a surgeon will make a small incision – significantly smaller than traditionally required for PCNL. The AZORRA device is then inserted, guided by real-time imaging. The surgeon uses the device's instruments to systematically work through the staghorn calculus, breaking up the stone into smaller, manageable fragments. These fragments are then gently extracted, leaving the healthy kidney tissue largely undisturbed. "We've seen some incredible results in early trials," says Dr. Carter. “Patients are experiencing significantly less pain, shorter hospital stays – we're talking days instead of weeks – and a faster return to their normal activities. We’re also seeing a reduced risk of complications like bleeding and infection.” What Sets AZORRA Apart? Several factors differentiate AZORRA's in-stag horn solution from existing treatments: Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires a much smaller incision, leading to less pain and faster recovery. Targeted Approach: The device allows surgeons to directly address the stone from within, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Improved Visualization: The high-resolution camera provides clear and detailed views, ensuring precise stone removal. Reduced Complication Risk: By minimizing trauma to the kidney, the device helps to reduce the risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications. Faster Recovery: Patients can typically return home within a few days and resume their normal activities within a week or two. AZORRA LLC isn't just focused on the technology itself. They understand the importance of comprehensive support for surgeons and hospitals. The company provides extensive training programs to ensure surgeons are fully proficient in using the device. They also offer ongoing technical support and assistance. Looking Ahead AZORRA LLC is committed to continuing innovation in the field of urology. The company is currently working on developing new instruments and features for its in-stag horn solution, as well as exploring applications for other types of kidney stones. “We believe this is just the beginning,” says Johnson. “We're passionate about improving the lives of patients with kidney stones, and we’re confident that our in-stag horn solution will become the standard of care for treating staghorn calculi.” About AZORRA LLC: AZORRA LLC, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (201 E LAS OLAS BLVD STE 2250, FT LAUDERDALE, FL, 33301-4449, UNITED STATES, 318-468-6734), is a medical device company dedicated to developing innovative solutions for urological conditions.
