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.

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
