Litotricia a base de ultrasonidos para mini-perc y uréter.
WHEN TO USE STAND-ALONE ULTRASOUND LITHOTRIPSY
Stand alone ultrasound lithotripsy for fast evacuation of softer – medium hard kidney stones through either standard or mini- percutaneous access or through semi-rigid ureteroscopes for ureteric stones.
High-performance ultrasonic lithotripsy for fast stone clearance shortens operating time.
La litotricia ultrasónica de alto rendimiento para la eliminación rápida de las piedras reduce el tiempo de intervención.
Una amplia gama de sondas para litotricia ultrasónica disponible para aplicaciones NLP-, mini-NLP-, ureteroscópica y cistoscópica.
ULTRASOUND WORKING PRINCIPLE
Piezoceramic elements: expand when connected to electricity.
Emits electricity when put under mechanical pressure.
This is called the piezoelectric effect.
This movement is transmitted onto the ultrasound probe and generates a very small longitudinal probe tip movement which creates an impact on a contact object (stone), leading to disintegration.
The ultrasound generator (control box) emits an electrical impulse to the piezo elements at a rate of approx. 25000 / Sec.
