Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the ultra-fine 40-mesh (400 micron) stainless steel filter is designed to catch even small kidney stones that might otherwise be missed.

Yes. The NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that “if you’re able to pass a kidney stone, a health care professional may ask you to catch the kidney stone in a special container” (NIDDK, Treatment for Kidney Stones). MedlinePlus patient guidance likewise says “you may be asked to try to catch your kidney stone. You can do this by collecting all of your urine and straining it” (MedlinePlus, Kidney stones – self-care). Always follow your own care team’s instructions.

Yes — PocketStrainer is made from BPA-free, medical-grade silicone and 316 stainless steel. The silicone is tested to ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-23 (skin irritation) biocompatibility standards — non-cytotoxic, with a negligible irritation response — and the product is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility. Test reports are on file.

Yes — PocketStrainer is a Class I, 510(k)-exempt medical device listed with the FDA and manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in accordance with FDA guidelines. FDA registration and listing do not denote FDA approval or endorsement.

Yes — PocketStrainer is fully reusable and made from non-porous materials that are easy to clean and do not retain odors.

Many customers choose the 2-pack so they can keep one at home and one in a bag or travel kit — especially during active stone passage.

Many hospital-issued strainers are bulky and disposable. PocketStrainer is compact, reusable, and designed for everyday use — especially when you're away from home.
