Unsurpassed shock wave source |
|
The therapy source is the core component of any lithotripter. It not only determines the stone disintegration efficiency but also the localization systems that can be integrated into the lithotripter.
STORZ MEDICAL developed a proprietary shockwave technology which is exclusively implemented in all its shock wave devices. The patented cylinder source provides unsurpassed fragmentation efficiency with low side effects and an extraordinary focal depth of 165 mm.
180 mm focus depth – A new world record!
There has been a general trend of increasing obesity in many parts of the world. This alarming development inevitably means that the weight limits of medical devices need to be increased and that shock wave sources with higher penetration depths are required.
The MODULITH® SLX-F2 has an exceptionally high weight limit of 225 kg and can be equipped with an optional therapy source with a hitherto unparalleled penetration depth of up to 180 mm. These features enable reliable fragmentation of deep stones even in extremely obese patients and under difficult conditions.
