Additional Information for Lithotriptic Electrode
Lithotriptic electrodes are medical instruments used in the field of urology for the treatment of kidney stones. They are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Lithotriptic electrodes are specifically designed to deliver electrical energy to break down kidney stones. This process is known as lithotripsy. The electrode is inserted into the urinary tract, typically through a cystoscope, and positioned near the kidney stone. Once in place, electrical energy is applied to the electrode, creating shock waves that break the stone into smaller fragments. These smaller fragments can then be passed out of the body through urine.
Lithotriptic electrodes are available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different patient needs and stone sizes. They are typically made of stainless steel or other conductive materials to ensure effective energy delivery.
It is important to note that the use of lithotriptic electrodes requires specialized training and should only be performed by qualified medical professionals.
