Boston Scientific Corp. of Natick is launching a new product designed to help with the retrieval of urinary stones.
BackStop Gel forms a plug behind the stone, preventing the migration of fragments after it’s broken up. Stone migration can result in increased procedure time and the need for secondary procedures, the company said.
The gel is a water-soluble polymer that can be injected into the patient, and it’s designed to dissolve after the procedure is completed.
