AZORRA LLC Unveils Revolutionary Staghorn Calculus Treatment: A Game-Changer for Patients

Fort Lauderdale, FL – October 26, 2023 – AZORRA LLC, a leading medical device company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, today announced the launch of its innovative new treatment for staghorn calculi – a particularly challenging form of kidney stones. This groundbreaking approach promises to dramatically improve patient outcomes and quality of life, offering a less invasive and more effective alternative to traditional surgical methods. AZORRA LLC, located at 201 E Las Olas Blvd Ste 2250, has been quietly developing this technology for several years, driven by a commitment to address unmet needs in urology. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Staghorn stones are notoriously difficult to treat. Existing methods can be highly invasive, require long recovery times, and still leave fragments behind. We set out to create something better.” The company, reachable at 318-468-6734, has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of medical technology, focusing on solutions that are both effective and patient-centric. What are Staghorn Calculi and Why are They So Tough? Before diving into the specifics of AZORRA’s new treatment, it's important to understand what makes staghorn calculi so problematic. These aren't your typical kidney stones. They're large, branching stones that fill a significant portion of the kidney's collecting system, resembling the antlers of a stag (hence the name). They often develop slowly over years, sometimes without causing noticeable symptoms until they become very large or obstruct urine flow. Traditional treatment often involves percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) – a surgery where a small incision is made in the back to directly access the kidney and break up the stone. While effective, PCNL is invasive, requires general anesthesia, and carries risks of bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding tissues. Ureteroscopy, another option, involves inserting a thin scope through the urethra and bladder to reach and fragment the stone. This can be painful and may not be suitable for very large or complex stones. The biggest challenge with staghorn stones isn't just their size; it's their complexity and location. They often fill multiple calyces (the small collecting ducts in the kidney), making complete removal difficult. Residual fragments can lead to recurrent stone formation and ongoing complications. AZORRA’s Breakthrough Approach: A Multi-Phased System AZORRA’s new treatment isn’t a single device; it’s a comprehensive, multi-phased system designed to address all aspects of staghorn calculus management. The core of the system is a proprietary high-frequency ultrasonic lithotripter – a device that uses sound waves to break up the stone. However, unlike traditional lithotripters, AZORRA’s device is specifically engineered to deliver focused, pulsed energy that efficiently fragments even the hardest stones while minimizing collateral damage to surrounding kidney tissue. Here's a breakdown of how the system works: Phase 1: Pre-Treatment Imaging & Planning: Before any procedure is performed, detailed imaging (CT scans and fluoroscopy) is used to create a 3D model of the staghorn calculus and the patient’s anatomy. This allows surgeons to precisely plan the treatment approach, identifying optimal access points and targeting specific areas of the stone. Phase 2: Percutaneous Access & Navigation: Utilizing a minimally invasive approach, a small access sheath is placed directly into the affected kidney calyx. AZORRA provides a range of specialized navigation tools and guidewires to ensure accurate and safe access. The sheath serves as a conduit for the lithotripsy probe and other instruments. Phase 3: Ultrasonic Lithotripsy: The core of the treatment. The high-frequency ultrasonic lithotripter is inserted through the access sheath and positioned directly against the staghorn calculus. The device delivers precisely controlled pulses of ultrasonic energy, breaking the stone into small, manageable fragments. AZORRA’s technology is designed to create a “dust-like” consistency, allowing for easy removal. Real-time imaging guidance ensures accurate targeting and prevents damage to healthy tissue. Phase 4: Fragment Extraction & Irrigation: Once the stone has been fragmented, the small particles are gently extracted using a combination of suction and irrigation. AZORRA provides a range of specialized extraction baskets and irrigating solutions to ensure complete removal of all fragments. Phase 5: Post-Treatment Monitoring & Prevention: Following the procedure, patients undergo post-treatment imaging to confirm complete stone removal. AZORRA also provides guidance on lifestyle modifications and preventative measures to reduce the risk of future stone formation. What Makes AZORRA’s Technology Different? Several key features distinguish AZORRA’s system from existing technologies: Higher Fragmentation Efficiency: The high-frequency ultrasonic energy delivers superior fragmentation power, even for extremely hard stones. Precision Targeting: Real-time imaging guidance and specialized navigation tools ensure accurate targeting and minimize collateral damage. Minimally Invasive Approach: The percutaneous access technique reduces the need for large incisions and promotes faster recovery times. Dust-Like Fragmentation: Creating a dust-like consistency allows for easy and complete removal of stone fragments, reducing the risk of recurrence. Reduced Pain and Recovery Time: Compared to traditional PCNL, AZORRA’s system typically results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. Early Results and Future Plans Preliminary clinical data from several leading urology centers have been very promising. Patients treated with AZORRA’s system have experienced high stone-free rates, minimal complications, and significant improvements in quality of life. “We’re really excited about these early results,” says Dr. Emily Carter, a urologist involved in the clinical trials. “This technology has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of staghorn calculi. It's less invasive, more effective, and improves patient outcomes.” AZORRA LLC is currently seeking FDA clearance for its system and plans to launch it commercially in the United States in early 2024. The company is also continuing to refine the technology and explore new applications for ultrasonic lithotripsy in the treatment of other types of kidney stones and urinary tract disorders.
