TRT: Products - LithoGold

LithoGold Highlights:

- Latest generation electrohdraulic (spark-gap) lithotripter

- Large focal zone (20 by 101 mm) and kidney friendly peak energy (36.9 MPa or 369 bar)

- Lightweight, compact design ideal for any size operating room or mobile enviroment.

- Deep penetration depth (165 mm) reduces the
incidence of treating patients in the prone position.
Effective in very large patients.

- Improved stone fragmentation through “
squeezing effect.”

- Reported re-treatment rates of less than 7%.

- Patient table capacity 500 pounds.

- Smartrode can be replaced in 30 seconds or less.

- Reduced anesthesia requirements.

- Easy targeting with wide shockwave path.

Improving the Best
The success of the HM3 is widely believed to be due to its large
focal zone and low bar pressure. The German engineered
LithoGold is the first lithotripter that provides the optimum in shockwave dynamics with the largest focal zone (20 x 101 mm) and the deepest penetration depth (165 mm). The large focal zone surrounds and holds the kidney stone in place maximizing the hit ratio thus increasing fragmentation efficacy. Only focal zones larger than the stone generate a squeezing effect which effectively pulverizes the stone into smaller particles further minimizing unwanted side effects. The maximum pressure of the LithoGold is 36.9 MPa (369 bar). Lower pressure paired with the large focal zone has proven to be less harmful on the human kidney and diminishes injury to the renal tissue which in turn reduces hematomas and renal colic. The deep penetration depth allows for treating extra large patients as well as reducing the incidence of treating patients in the prone position. These characteristics make the LithoGold the safest and most effective lithotripter in the market today.
