High stone-free rates
Up to 95% for ureteral stones using pneumatic lithotripsy
Up to 90% for PNL procedures using combination lithotripsy
Fast fragmentation
Combination mode with the Swiss LithoClast® Master clears stones twice as fast as ultrasound-alone lithotripters
Shorter operating time
Pneumatic lithotripsy with the Swiss LithoClast® fragments stones on average faster than Holmium laser
Product features
- Pneumatic effect for fast coarse fragmentation
- Powerful ultrasonic lithotripsy for fine fragmentation and pulverization
Simultaneous use of both technologies for multiplied action - Controlled suction for complete evacuation of stone fragments
Scientifically proven efficacy

A faster stone clearance with the Swiss LithoClast results in a shorter operating time
For cost effective management
- Save 28 minutes compared to laser lithotripsy1
- OR time costs 62 $ per minute2
- Save on average 1,736 $ per PNL compared to laser lithotripsy
