As reported, upon opening the sterile package of a universa firm ureteral stent set, the nurse noted a split on one tip of the jj stent.The tether was still attached to the stent when the package was initially opened, but the scrub nurse was not able to confirm whether the split occurred on the side with the tether or not.Another same type device was opened and used to complete the procedure.No adverse effects have been reported due to the occurrence.
