Electromechanical lithotripsy system, extracorporeal

Electromechanical lithotripsy systems are non-invasive medical devices that use focused shock waves generated outside the body to break down stones in organs like the kidneys, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These systems work by creating a magnetic field that repels a metallic membrane, producing shock waves that disintegrate calculi without surgery.

When browsing this category, readers should know that these devices are typically supplied as complete systems including a treatment table, imaging system, and operator console. The regulation and classification of such devices vary by jurisdiction and are determined based on their specific design and intended use.
