Pneumatic Lithotripter

It is microprocessor based digitally controlled pressure flow device, which generates high accurate pluses in single pulse mode as well as variable continuous pulse mode for the fragmentation of stones in urinary system, i.e., Kidney, ureter and Bladder.

One of the marked and distinctive feature of “NIDHILITH Digi” is its rigid probe design. This results in rapid and safe fragmentation of the large and hard calculi situated anywhere in the urinary system i.e. kidneys, ureters and bladder. Therefore, there is no heat generation threat on the tip of the probe and following damage to the mucosa.

NIDHILITH Digi is mainly having four parts i.e. Control Unit, Oxygen Regulator or
Air Compressor, Handpiece and Rigid Probe. It is a foot switch operated highly precise microprocessor based electro pneumatic device, operated with a standard electrical supply as well as clean and dry compressed air. It is connected with the hand piece through flexible tubing. The rigid probe is connected to hand piece. The probe tip is placed in direct contact with the stones.

As soon as the control unit energizes by the foot switch, the compressed air enters the hand piece and propels a small piston against the base of the probe at a frequency from 1 cycles/sec to 12 cycles/sec. The ballistic energy is then transmitted through the probe into the stone, thereby fragmenting the stone.

Due to the design of rigid probe, generally NIDHILITH Digi is recommended for use with the rigid or semi rigid endoscope having straight working channel.
