The "Lithotripter LT-1" for remote shock wave lithotripsy from the Moscow plant "Sapphire" of the "Shvabe" holding, which is part of Rostec, has received a registration certificate from Roszdravnadzor. The developed device is designed to destroy kidney stones by crushing them.
The high efficiency and non-invasiveness of remote shock wave lithotripsy allows it to be performed on many groups of patients, including children. The number of complications after the procedure is quite low.
The equipment was created taking into account the peculiarities of domestic medical practice and with the active participation of urologists.
Currently, there are about 350-400 lithotripters in Russia, which are gradually becoming obsolete and failing. The need to replace them is becoming obvious. Considering that equipment should be updated every 8-10 years, about 40 new units are required annually.
We plan to launch mass production of this device as soon as possible after testing in several medical institutions.
