ULTIMATE STONE THERAPY

ALL-IN-ONE LITHOTRIPSY

THE ONE-OF-A-KIND SWISS LITHOCLAST® MASTER – A PERFECT COMBINATION OF ULTRASOUND AND PNEUMATIC LITHOTRIPSY FOR MANAGING STONES

• Pneumatic effect for fast coarse fragmentation
• Powerful ultrasonic lithotripsy for fine fragmentation and pulverization
• Simultaneous use of both technologies for multiplied action

NEW VARIO ULTRASOUND HANDPIECE

PERFECTLY SUITED FOR ALL TREATMENT MODALITIES

• Faster stone clearance – less blockage
• Optimized fragment transport through dedicated suction connectors
• Enhanced ultrasound effectiveness due to optimized transducer design
• Comfortable and convenient handling thanks to reduced size and weight as well as optimal ergonomics
• Instantaneous intraoperative switch from combined ultrasound/pneumatic mode to ultrasound only mode
• Long-lasting ultrasound probes thanks to optimized design

COMPLEMENTARY TECHNOLOGIES

PNEUMATIC HANDPIECE pn3

INNOVATION IN FUNCTION AND DESIGN

• Reduced probe displacement, less push-back, greater fragmentation control
• Optimum operator control thanks to light weight and perfect ergonomics
• Easy reprocessing thanks to sealed system, no moisture-related handpiece failure
• Easy, fast and sterile probe change due to quick-connection probe cap
• Extremely durable handpieces and probes in best material and manufacturing quality

THE BENEFITS OF THE EMS COMBINED LITHOTRIPTER PRINCIPLE AND IMPACT ARE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED IN SCIENTIFIC COMPARISONS

THE PRINCIPLE

• Acclaimed and proven ballistic lithotripsy – the Swiss LithoClast® principle – for coarse stone fragmentation
• High-performance ultrasound lithotripsy for fine fragmentation and pulverization
• Simultaneous use of both technologies for enhanced efficacy
• Choice of the most effective method during treatment

Image description: A line graph titled "COMPARISON OF SWISS LITHOCLAST® SHOCKWAVES VERSUS ULTRASOUND WAVES → FORCE ACTING ON THE CALCULUS". The X-axis is Time (µs) from -100 to 300. The Y-axis is Pressure/rel. units from -4 to 12. Two lines are shown: "ultrasound wave" (a smooth sine wave) and "LithoClast® shockwave" (a series of sharp, high-amplitude spikes).

THE IMPACT

• Most effective method for the removal of large calculi
• Faster stone removal: clinically proven four times faster than Swiss LithoClast® Standard and more than twice as fast compared to standard ultrasound lithotripters
• Prevention of stone fragment blockage in the ultrasound handpiece and probes

Image description: A bar chart titled "IN VIVO COMPARISON CONVENTIONAL ULTRASOUND VERSUS SWISS LITHOCLAST® MASTER PRINCIPLE". The X-axis shows two categories: "conventional ultrasound" and "Swiss LithoClast® Master". The Y-axis is disintegration rate of calculi (mm²/min) from 0 to 50. The bar for "conventional ultrasound" is 17.7. The bar for "Swiss LithoClast® Master" is 39.5, marked with an asterisk (*). A note indicates "* p=0.03".
