(prcenter.de) Munich - Urologi investigations and treatments of kidney, Gallen or urine stones are now more comfortable for patients. Siemens developed a multi-functional Lithotripsiesystem, a combination of Steinzertrümmerer (Lithotripter) and diagnostics table. With the Lithoskop Urologen X-raying or ultrasonic picture giving can use system mentioned for investigation, provide diagnoses, endoscopic or laser-led interferences accomplish and stones destroy. Besides the integrated shock wave for orthopedic applications or a pain therapy is suitable.
The largest advantage of the system is that the impact head on a ISO-centric C-Bogen is and is most mobile thus. Because of this flexibility the system turns completely around the patient, who does not have to be relocated thus during the therapy no more. For patients means this substantially shorter waiting periods. Additionally the physician and its team have a better entrance to the investigation table. So for example the Narkosearzt can work on the top of the table, which contributes to the additional security and optimization of the treatment.
The Lithoskop works with the new shock wave system Pulso, which possesses one by 50 per cent extended in relation to actual working time comparable devices. With a penetration depth of 16 centimeters Pulso is suitable also for beleibte patients. It has besides a large shock wave focus, whereby the probability of hit for cutting up the stones rises enormously. So almost all stones can be destroyed within a meeting. The shock waves have a smaller power density, which reduces the side effects for patients owing to a large focus: Surrounding, sensitive fabric, particularly in the kidney area, is not damaged.
The multi-functional Lithoskop is fully digital and interlaces the urology with the hospital. All patient data and X-raying as well as ultrasonic pictures are digitally archived and are at any time and simply for the physician callably. (IN 2006.09.6)
