    This study introduces a new multifunctional urological table for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). Early results from 400 treatments show promise for this innovative ESWL technology.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Engineering
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has demonstrated clinical success for over five years.
    • Second-generation lithotriptors are currently in development and clinical trials.
    • The need for advanced, multifunctional devices in urological procedures is growing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a prototype multifunctional urological table for ESWL.
    • To evaluate a novel shock wave generation mode with local coupling.
    • To report initial clinical outcomes of the prototype system.

    Main Methods:
