Ultrasonic lithotripsy system probe, reusable

Ultrasonic lithotripsy system probes are reusable, tubular devices designed to transmit high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) directly to urinary stones (calculi) in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder. When positioned against the stone, these probes break it down into smaller fragments that can then be removed from the body via an endoscope, enabling non-invasive treatment of obstructions or blockages.

These probes are typically regulated as medical devices and must meet strict sterilization and safety standards before reuse. They are often supplied as part of a larger lithotripsy system and require proper handling, cleaning, and sterilization protocols to ensure patient safety and device efficacy. Classification varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered high-risk due to their invasive use and energy transmission.
