Comparative evaluation between one ultrasonic and two single-probe dual energy lithotripters: in vitro and in vivo experiment in a porcine model

M.Lattarulo et. al

Swiss LithoClast®️ Trilogy has been designed to provide powerful fragmentation and more efficient stone removal for shorter PCNL procedural time. Scientific research proves this effectiveness, in comparison to other, existing lithotripters, as well as in actual OR cases.
In a new study, Lattarulo et al. tested the Swiss LithoClast Trilogy in vitro and in vivo in porcine model, and concluded that the device is twice as fast on both soft and hard stones as compared with best competitors.

EMS Lithoclast Trilogy: an effective single-probe dual-energy lithotripter for mini and standard PCNL

Sabnis R. B. et al. World Journal of Urology vol. 38,4 (2020): 1043-1050. 

Providing fast, easy, and safe percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) appears to be one of the most challenging issues in modern urology. In order to break the stones more effectively, a combination of different energy sources is needed. Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy is an all-in-one-probe, dual-energy lithotripter that combines electromagnetic impactor and ultrasonic vibration with suction capability. This study describes the initial clinical use of Swiss Lithoclast® Trilogy in patients who underwent Mini or Standard PCNL for stone evacuation.
