Lithrotoscopy MODULITH SLX-F2

Every new lithotripter launched by STORZ MEDICAL is bound to set new standards in the market. Even in areas in which we have established ourselves as the unchallenged market leader, we do not sit back and rest on our laurels, but rather provide additional technical innovations to further increase therapy efficiency and make therapies even gentler on patients.
Rather than expecting people to adapt to new technologies, we must ensure that technical progress is adapted to the requirements of people. Acting up to this principle backed by the experience of more than two decades in designing shock wave devices the new, unique MODULITH SLX-F2 was developed.
MODULITH SLX-F2 - Highlights at a glance
Unsurpassed shock wave source
Dual Focus, free selectable focus size according to treatment strategy
Optimised patient table
Trendelenburg tilt
Graphical user interface
Automatisation of routine procedures
X-ray localization with highest resolution
Dual Focus
No two stones or anatomies are the same. Hence, different focal zones are required to accommodate for specific stone sizes and positions. Higher pressures and good energy concentration are necessary for the disintegration of impacted ureter stones, whereas lower pressures and a wider focal zone can be used in the treatment of large stones located in the renal pelvis.
The Dual Focus of the MODULITH SLX-F2 enables you to adapt shock wave parameters to specific indications in an optimum manner and to develop your own treatment strategies. To underline this decisive new system feature, "F2" has been appended to the name of the MODULITH SLX.
Optimised patient table - Easy patient positioning
When positioning immobile patients, doctors and nursing staff are required to use extreme caution and care. Likewise, helping sedated patients to get on or off the patient table is a situation that is often critical and difficult to handle.
Again, STORZ MEDICAL has underscored its commitment to innovation to improve the ergonomic design of its systems and increase patient safety. The patient table of the MODULITH SLX-F2 is equipped with a tilting device with a 30° swivelling angle to help patients sit up on the patient table or lie down horizontally for treatment, thus making patients feel safer and easing the physical strain on the personnel.
Ergonomic design and accessibility
In the development of the MODULITH SLX-F2, we have given special attention to an ergonomic design and the requirements of the daily routine. Fundamental design objectives included easy access to patients from three sides, especially in the head area, and an innovative operator system to relieve users of many routine tasks and enable them to concentrate on the essentials.
Multifunctionality
The MODULITH SLX-F2 is not only a one-of-a-kind lithotripter, but also a highly versatile, multifunctional workstation. The manifold patient positioning options provided by the patient table allow the most varied urological examinations and endourological treatments to be performed. Access to the patient is possible from three sides.
If anaesthesia is required, for example, easy access to the patient‘s head is necessary for intubation. When treating short patients, the table extension on the head side of the patient table can be removed easily and effortlessly.
