To curtail the pain and discomfort during cystoscopic stent removal and in order to improve patient's quality of life, a newly developed ureteral stent with a small magnet at its distal end and a customized magnetic retrieval catheter is recently used in Europe. The product is Black-Star® with a retrieval device by Urotech (Achenmühle, Germany). The magnetic Blackstar stent is a ureteral stent with a small magnet fixed with a string at the distal loop. The placement of stent is similar as routinely done on a guidewire, the only difference is to include the magnetic piece over the guidewire. To remove the stent a customized catheter with a magnetic Tiemann tip is used. The catheter is inserted after urethral application of a standard lubricant and removed with the stent after coming in contact with the stent's magnet.
