A Tradition of Success in Urology - The Modulith
Established in 1987, STORZ MEDICAL AG is a Swiss member company
of the KARL STORZ Group. At our headquarters in Tägerwilen, on the
Swiss side of Lake Constance right in the heart of Europe, we develop
innovative shock wave systems that meet the highest standards of
precision.
Our lithotripters have proved their efficacy in urology in millions of cases. But with its technological innovations, STORZ MEDICAL also sets new standards in the fields of orthopaedics, cardiology, rheumatology, rehabilitation medicine, aesthetic medicine, dermatology and veterinary medicine.
Electromagnetic cylindrical source
The therapy source is the core component of any lithotripter. It determines
not only the stone fragmentation efficiency, but also the localization
systems that can be tied into the lithotripter solution.
The STORZ MEDICAL therapy source is designed in such a way that inline
localization and shock wave generation can take place simultaneously.
This means that shock waves and, for example, ultrasound
waves travel along identical paths. As a result, the treatment can be
easily monitored by in-line ultrasound or fluoroscopic imaging.
Electromagnetic cylindrical source
High fragmentation efficiency
Minimal side effects
Constant energy output
Long service life
Low operating cost
Treatment flexibility
Therapy head in over-table and under-table position
The MODULITH® SLK enables extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
(SWL) of all stones in the entire urinary tract. Depending on the stone
location, the innovative therapy head can be moved into over-table or
under-table position for maximum flexibility.
As a result, patients can
always remain in a comfortable supine position during stone treatment.
When performing treatments with urological X-ray workstations, the
therapy arm can be moved into a position that enables in-line localization.
Combination with tables and C-arcs
Modular lithotripsy
The MODULITH® SLK can be combined with various operating tables
with lateral cutout and with surgical C-arcs. Alignment of the individual
systems is accomplished by motorized movement of the lithotripter
therapy source. As a result, it takes very little time to get the system
components ready for treatment. The over-table and under-table positions
of the therapy source can be conveniently saved during the focus
check and recalled later as required. Markers on the therapy source
enable a simple alignment check of the C-arc and lithotripter
The ideal complement to urological X-ray workstations
SWL addition
The MODULITH® SLK is the ideal complement to urological workstations such as the PRIMERA ST360® system. With this combination, diagnosis and therapy can be performed without having to transfer the patient to another treatment room. Patients can be treated with the compact lithotripter directly on the table of the urological workstation. With this system combination, the excellent image quality of the digital X-ray workstation facilitates
