Lithotripters — a promising alternative to surgical stone removal

Lithotripsy is a unique method for crushing stones to remove them from the body. It is most commonly used for treating urolithiasis, as well as stone formation in the gallbladder, bladder, and other internal organs. A special device — the lithotripter — is essential for medical institutions to ensure the effective destruction of stones in patients. The equipment pulverizes the stones to a state suitable for safe extraction or natural excretion. The devices use various types of energy to break down the internal structure of the stone, reducing it to small particles.

Types of Lithotripters

Medical devices are divided into two groups: contact and non-contact. Contact devices involve the use of a special probe, while non-contact devices use radiation that is sent through soft tissue. Depending on the principle of operation, there are different types of lithotripters:

Ultrasonic — minimally traumatic, safe, work well with loose formations.
Laser — affect the stones with a laser, directed precisely in the center. Concentrates are heated and destroyed from the inside.
Pneumatic — simple, reliable, transmits pneumatic shock through a steel rod-probe.
Electrohydraulic — have high efficiency, allow you to regulate the shock-wave impulse.
Electromagnetic — the quietest, have a large focal zone, allow you to adjust and focus the radiation.

Modern models of devices combine different principles of action, which significantly increases efficiency.

Features and advantages of lithotripters

Stone crushing using remote and contact methods involves minimal interference with the body. Remote lithotripsy requires prior determination of the stone's location using fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT. The contact technique is an endoscopic procedure and is performed under anesthesia. The advantages of using lithotripters include:

high efficiency;
minimizing the occurrence of complications;
insignificant pain sensations;
short rehabilitation period;
advantage over surgical methods of stone removal.

Remote lithotripsy destroys stones without surgical intervention, incisions, stitches. Choosing for a medical institution lithotripter, the price of which may vary, should be guided by the requirements for the device, technical characteristics, qualifications of staff.
