Multifunctional Lithotripter

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 15 Jun 2005
A new multifunctional lithotripter is intended to be more efficient for a number of urologic applications.

The Lithoskop lithotripter features an ergonomic table and one-time patient positioning, while a digital interface can help clinicians with workflow and image management. More...
The system is the product of Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany).

"Technology, such as the Lithoskop, should enable physicians to provide enhanced medical care,” observed Ed Winstead, director of urology at Siemens. "The patient access and image quality provided by the digital technology should improve patient care and throughput.”

The lithotripter's innovative design offers patient access from all sides, while the dual C-arm for x-ray imaging and shock-wave head allow for multifunational use and smooth workflow. AutoPost, the system's computer-aided three dimensional (3D) positioning tool, helps doctors align a patient's stone into focus. One the stone is localized on the monitor, AutoPost automatically moves the table to position the stone for treatment. A feature called LithoReport aids workflow by allowing for detailed documentation of the entire process.

Siemens has appointed Platimum Medical (Hebron, KY, USA) as the authorized sales channel for Siemens' surgery, mobile x-ray, and urology products.
