Advanced System Components

In-line localization

Thanks to the cylindrical design of the STORZ MEDICAL therapy coil, the stone can always be imaged in situ on the central axis of the therapy head - even during shock wave treatment - regardless of whether anteroposterior (AP) fluoroscopic projection or ultrasound localization is performed. In-line configuration ensures that obstacles in the shock wave path, such as ribs or the iliac wing, are instantly visible and can be bypassed during shock wave application.

Dual focus

No two stones or anatomies are the same. Hence, different focal zones are required to accommodate different stone sizes and positions. The MODULITH® SLX-F2 »connect« offers a dual focus, allowing selection of shock wave parameters best suited to the patient's specific indication and a personalized treatment strategy. Focal size can be changed merely at the press of a button, even during treatment - a ground-breaking solution in the history of lithotripsy.

StorM-Touch

The StorM-Touch central control platform gives operators full control of all system functions. All integrated system components are controlled from a touch screen, either from a remote control panel behind leadglass windows or directly in the treatment room. The optional automated LithoPos® stone positioning system is a dose-reducing tool that is also integrated into the StorM-Touch platform. In addition, various integrated software applications enable rapid post-processing of X-ray images.

StorM-Base
