New Generation of Surgical Equipment
Nano Powder Synthesis proudly presents Urolit, a cutting-edge lithotripter that stands at the forefront of innovation in kidney stone treatment. Urolit is a new-generation lithotripter designed to transform the way we address kidney stones, utilizing groundbreaking technology that harnesses the power of nano-electropulses. Say goodbye to traditional methods and welcome a new era of efficiency, precision, and patient comfort.
Urolit works via nanoelectroimpulses. The basis of nanoelectropulse destruction of solids is as follows: a high-voltage voltage pulse with a duration of ~ 102-103 nanoseconds acts directly on the destruction object, forming an electric discharge channel in it. The subsequent expansion of the channel in the solid leads to the appearance of shear and tensile (breaking) stresses in it, which contributes to its effective destruction.
The main difference between the nanoelectropulse method and the electrohydraulic method is that the destructive energy is released directly in a solid body (stone), and not in a liquid medium. The main disadvantage of the electrohydraulic method in relation to the destruction of organomineral stones is the inefficient use of the main energy carrier - the primary shock wave. The main destructive effect is due to secondary factors - the creation of tensile stresses, the hydraulic pressure of the working fluid, and the collisions of particles in the hydroflow. Thus, the destruction of stones with equal energy in the discharge channel is more effective by the nanoelectropulse method than by the electrohydraulic one. The results of the studies also revealed that, with a comparable efficiency of the destruction of stones by nanoelectropulse and electrohydraulic CLT, the process of nanoelectropulse CLT takes place at lower values of the total energy and the number of pulses
Due to the fact that the destruction of the stone occurs when energy is released in its volume, this leads to a significant decrease in the likelihood of injury to living tissue and damage to urological equipment, in particular the structural elements of the lithoextractor and endoscope.
