Calyxo Announces Data Demonstrating CVAC System Maximizes Stone Clearance While Maintaining Safety
March 25, 2025
Calyxo, Inc. presented new data at the European Association of Urology 2025 Annual Meeting (EAU25) showcasing the effectiveness of their CVAC System for kidney stone removal. The key points include:
- The CVAC System is designed with three unique features: microjet irrigation, simultaneous flow, and a large outflow lumen, which work together to maximize kidney stone fragment aspiration.
- The CVAC system demonstrated significantly superior (p<0.001) aspiration rates vs. direct in-scope suction (DISS) across all five size groups.
- A comparative study showed the CVAC System aspirates stone fragments 6-30 times faster than DISS across all tested stone sizes. For a 15mm stone broken into 0.6mm fragments, the CVAC System would take 1.2 minutes compared to DISS’s 34.9 minutes.
- The system maintains low intra-renal pressure regardless of anatomical variations, providing better safety compared to standard ureteroscopy (particularly in non-compliant ureter models).
- In a real-world study at UC San Diego using the next-generation CVAC System 2.0, most patients achieved greater than 99% stone clearance.
- The company positions the CVAC System as an emerging standard of care in kidney stone removal, citing its safety, efficacy, and potential benefits for healthcare utilization.
