Lithotripters
A large number of piezoceramic elements are attached
to the inner side of a concave shell. A high-voltage
pulse is applied simultaneously to all of
these ceramics to produce a mechanical ultrasonic shock
wave. Due to the concave form of the shell, this is
concentrated at one point. The high energy in the focus
of this shock wave shatters any kidney stones there are
and the pieces can leave the body naturally via the ureter.
This makes it possible to remove painful kidney or gall
stones without any anesthesia whatsoever and without surgical
intervention.
