Additional Information for Lithotriptoscope
A lithotriptoscope is a medical device used for the non-invasive treatment of kidney stones. It is part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies".
A lithotriptoscope uses shock waves to break down kidney stones into smaller pieces, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract more easily. This procedure is known as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The lithotriptoscope typically consists of a machine that generates the shock waves, a table or bed for the patient to lie on, and imaging equipment to help guide the treatment.
During the ESWL procedure, the patient lies on the table and the lithotriptoscope is positioned over the area where the kidney stone is located. The machine then generates shock waves that are focused on the stone, causing it to break apart. The patient may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but anesthesia or sedation is often used to help manage any pain.
Lithotriptoscopes are important tools in urology departments and are used to treat a variety of kidney stones. They offer a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures, reducing the need for incisions and allowing for faster recovery times.
It's important to note that the specific features and capabilities of lithotriptoscopes may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.
