The cylindrical coil in the unique therapy source of STORZ MEDICAL combines shock wave generation and in-line localization by design.

This proven solution facilitates localization of the stone into the focus.
The new MODULITH® SLK is designed to be the multifunctional solution for all stone therapies e.g. placing a double-J stent before SWL or performing URS or PCNL on the table. Trendelenburg tilt and a removable insert plate make the integrated table of the MODULITH® SLK perfectly suitable for successful endourological procedures.
The new touch screen operating panel can be positioned according to the demands of the operator, on an adjustable support close to the C-arm controls or on the rail of the patient table. The integrated concept keeps all important controls for positioning, shock wave release and safety always at hand in a compact console. The operation of the new MODULITH® SLK is intuitive and simple. Thus a short learning curve is guaranteed. All important functions are available at your fingertips and are easily distinguishable by their symbol and layout.
The new MODULITH® SLK comes with a lot of innovations to make daily medical routine easy. The table can be folded to a space saving transport position to move the device in and out of the room. Safe and simple handling is ensured through the integrated brake and anti-tip beam which fix the device securely for operations.
