An electrohydraulic or pneumatic lithotripsy probe is a specialized instrument designed to break down urinary stones within the kidneys, ureters, or bladder. These rod-like devices transmit shock waves directly to the calculus to fragment it in place, allowing for easier removal during endoscopic procedures.
These devices are constructed from durable materials like stainless steel and are designed to be cleaned and sterilized for repeated use. They are available in various lengths and rigidities to accommodate different surgical approaches, whether introduced through natural orifices or surgical incisions.
