Transportable lithotripter for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL)
The modular design of the MODULITH® SLX-F2 allows the workstation to be tailored to specific system requirements. The lithotripter can be used with different X-ray systems to create an ergonomically optimized workstation. The »semi-stationary« concept can be combined with mobile C-arcs for localization. This semi-stationary arrangement of the workstation devices allows direct system access without having to readjust the system components. Since no installation measures are necessary, the workstation can be easily transferred to a different room.

Kidney stones: How to choose the right therapy?
The diagnosis of kidney stones inevitably raises the question as to which therapy will work best in your specific case. Today, there are various invasive and non-invasive procedures to choose from according to the type of stone and the specific stone location in the kidneys or ureter.

Advanced System Components
STORZ MEDICAL has implemented a new pioneering control concept which enables central control of the most diverse system components. All devices in the network can be easily controlled from a central touch screen, irrespective of whether stone therapy, contrast medium imaging or percutaneous procedures are performed.
The therapy source is the core component of any lithotripter. It not only determines the stone disintegration efficiency but also the localization systems that can be integrated into the lithotripter.
STORZ MEDICAL developed a proprietary shockwave technology which is exclusively implemented in all its shock wave devices. The patented cylinder source provides unsurpassed fragmentation efficiency with low side effects and an extraordinary focal depth of 180 mm.

There has been a general trend of increasing obesity in many parts of the world. This alarming development inevitably means that the weight limits of medical devices need to be increased and that shock wave sources with higher penetration depths are required.
The MODULITH® SLX-F2 has an exceptionally high weight limit of 225 kg and is equipped with an optional therapy source with a hitherto unparalleled penetration depth of up to 180 mm. These features enable reliable fragmentation of deep stones even in extremely obese patients and under difficult conditions.
The central arrangement of the therapy source in the vertical (AP) direction adds to the highly ergonimic and user-friendly design. No patient repositioning is requried. The left or right kidney and ureter can be treated without having to move the patient. This means that the patient's head is always in the same position and that monitoring of vital parameters is greatly facilitated. This is of crucial importance in cases in which anasthesia is required.
KEY FEATURES
How it works
Cylinder Geometry
The specific geometry of the cylindrical shock wave source developed by STORZ MEDICAL has allowed to eliminate the drawbacks of spark gap systems and to decisively improve electromagnetic shock wave generation methods. Electromagnetically generated shock waves provide excellent dosing capability and can be triggered without any significant fluctuations at low energy levels and high pressures

Ergonomic design
The MODULITH SLX-F2 »transportable« was designed with a focus on ergonmic design and the requirements of the daily medicla routine. Fundamental design objectives included easy access to patients from all sides, especially in the head area, and an innovative control concept to relieve users of many routine tasks and enable them to concentrate on the essentials.
X-ray localization
Three-dimensional stone localization requires fluoroscopic projections to be performed in two directions, i.e. at 0° and 30° relative to the vertical axis. Most lithotripters use X-ray systems that are swivelled in cranio-caudal direction as this solution is technically less complex than the lateral (orbital) swivel. However, AP and lateral projections provide better image quality than cranio-caudal projections and ensure easy and reliable identification of the stone position.
