EHL Lithotripsy
The Walz Lithotron EL27 Compact offers
a secure, easy, and convenient way to
administer bipolar ElectroHydraulic
Lithotripsy (EHL).
Features
✓ Highest efficiency compared to other technologies, short operation times
✓ Stones are normally disintegrated with only a few shock waves
✓ Security: shock waves destroy hard objects and treat soft tissue with care✓ Highly localized energy transfer compared to laser and extracorporal shock waves
✓ Endoscope protection through rounded probe tips; no breaking problem compared to laser fibers
✓ Controlled energy levels: 3 intensities (up to 950 mJ) adjusted to usage in gastroenterology and urology
✓ Very fast pulses, sharply rising amplitudes for most effective stone fragmentation
✓ Automatic pulse frequency (10-40 Hz)
✓ Automatic probe type recognition
✓ Automatic probe depletion recognition
EHL Probe Features
All flexible EHL probes are delivered sterile
✓ Probes are highly flexible but keep their position
✓ Precisely worked probe tip for reproduceable shock waves
✓ Rounded probe tips help insertion in endoscope and protect the endoscope
✓ Centered plasma helps maintain distance to tissue (advantage bipolar over coaxial electrodes)
