Piezoelectric lithotripsy system

Piezoelectric lithotripsy systems are medical devices designed to break down stones (calculi) in the body without surgery. Using focused shock waves generated by piezoelectric crystals, these systems target kidney stones, urinary tract stones, gallstones, or obstructions in the bile or pancreatic ducts, enabling non-invasive treatment for patients.

These systems are typically regulated as complex medical devices, combining mechanical, electrical, and imaging components. They are often supplied as integrated assemblies, requiring specialized training for operation, and may be subject to strict performance and safety standards depending on the jurisdiction.
