This non-invasive technology safely and effectively disintegrates
your stone(s) into small particles with shock waves aimed directly at
the stone(s). Shock waves are energy pressure waves. These shock
waves pass safely through the body. Devices mechanically focus the
shock waves greatest energy on the kidney stone(s). This impact of
repeated shock waves causes the stone to crack and crumble without
causing damage to the surrounding tissue. Breaking down the kidney
stone into smaller particles allows the body to expel the stone
naturally.
BAP’s state-of-the-art
equipment used for SWL includes the Dornier Compact Delta and the HealthTronics
LithoDiamond. The urologist will choose the lithotripter best
suited for the patient depending upon the size and type of the stone,
severity of the condition, and the age and health of the patient.
