Our Purpose
We are dedicated to transforming lives through comprehensive solutions that facilitate kidney stone removal, enhance prostate health, restore erectile function, and improve urinary continence.
Driving Meaningful Innovation
Enhancing Kidney Stone Management
Boston Scientific has conducted extensive global research to analyze flexible ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures, identifying potential areas for improvement.
Broadening Prostate Health Solutions
The portfolio of Boston Scientific continues to expand with products designed to enhance the quality of life and clinical outcomes for patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer and managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- In a study on Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy, patients reported substantial and sustained improvements in BPH symptoms for up to five years following treatment.¹
- The AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis, crafted for long-term satisfaction in erectile dysfunction treatment, has surpassed 500,000 units sold globally.²

LithoVue™ Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope
The LithoVue™ Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope transforms your approach to flexible ureteroscopy. It provides high-resolution digital images for enhanced visualization and navigation, enabling you to remove stones efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively.
AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis
AMS 700™ Inflatable Penile Prosthesis is designed to provide long-term treatment for patients with erectile dysfunction. A category leading, physician-preferred prosthesis* designed for ease of use and to look and feel natural.
AMS 800™ Artificial Urinary Sphincter
The AMS 800 is a device designed for male patients with stress urinary incontinence, specifically those who may have had prostate surgery or other procedures that affect urinary control. It consists of an inflatable artificial urinary sphincter system that mimics the function of a natural sphincter.
Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy
Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment intended to alleviate the cause of BPH – an enlarged prostate. This therapy delivers sterile steam directly to the targeted tissue. Clinical studies demonstrated that over time the steam reduces the volume of the prostate to relieve BPH symptoms, while preserving sexual function.¹, ¹¹
GreenLight XPS™ Laser Therapy System
The GreenLight XPS™ Laser Therapy System is a cutting-edge device for minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It uses high-powered 532nm laser energy to vaporize excess prostate tissue, alleviating urinary symptoms. With real-time tissue feedback and a precise fiber delivery system, it reduces bleeding, shortens hospital stays, and speeds up recovery. The system is versatile for various anatomical types and offers a safer profile than traditional surgeries. Its user-friendly interface ensures efficient procedures, making it an essential tool for urologists to enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Dakota™ Nitinol Stone Retrieval Device with OpenSure™ Handle
The Dakota™ Nitinol Stone Retrieval Device with OpenSure™ Handle is a medical tool designed for efficient and effective removal of kidney stones during minimally invasive procedures like ureteroscopy. This device utilizes a nitinol construction, which is a shape-memory alloy known for its flexibility and strength, allowing it to navigate tight anatomical curves easily.
Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis
The Tactra™ Malleable Penile Prosthesis is a surgical device designed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men who do not respond to other therapies. This prosthesis consists of two malleable rods that are surgically implanted within the corpora cavernosa of the penis.
Polaris™ Ultra Ureteral Stent
The Polaris™ Ultra Ureteral Stent is a medical device designed to maintain urine flow from the kidney to the bladder in patients with ureteral obstructions or strictures. This flexible, hollow tube is inserted into the ureter and features a unique design that minimizes discomfort and enhances patient compliance.
Sensor™ Nitinol Guidewire
The Sensor™ Nitinol Guidewire is a specialized medical device designed for use in urology procedures, particularly those involving the urinary tract and kidney access.
Solyx™ Single-Incision Sling System
The Solyx™ Single-Incision Sling System is a minimally invasive surgical device designed for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This system employs a single-incision technique, which allows for a less invasive approach compared to traditional tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures.
Upsylon™ Y-Mesh
Upsylon™ Y-Mesh is an advanced surgical mesh designed for urological procedures, particularly for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Its unique Y-shaped design offers enhanced support and stability while maintaining flexibility and minimizing tissue tension, optimizing healing and reducing complications for better patient outcomes.
