STORZ MEDICAL AG

Cylindrical Electromagnetic Shock Wave Source Systems
Dual and Lithotrack X-Ray Imaging Systems
Shock Wave Device for Cardiology and In-Line Ultrasound Imaging

Decisive Contributors for Shock Wave Technology , New System Concepts and Providers Of Urological Workstation For ESWL and Endourology , Transportable Lithotripter, Inline Ultrasound, Dual and Lithotrack X-Ray Imaging Systems


Based in Switzerland, Storz Medical AG was founded in 1987 as part of the Storz group of companies. Our physicists and engineers make decisive contributions to technological progress, especially with respect to the improvement of shock wave technology and to the development of new system concepts.
While shock wave technology applied in urology has already proved its worth in terms of treatment optimization in millions of cases, revolutionary systems now open up new fields of application to medical specialists. With its technical innovations Storz Medical has thus set new standards in orthopedics, rheumatology, cardiology, gastroenterology and oto-rhino-laryngology.

The range of Products is:

Modulith SLX-F2

  • State of the art urological workstation for ESWL and endourology
  • Dual shock wave focus – selectable treatment strategy
  • Cylindrical electromagnetic shock wave source
  • Dual imaging (in-line X-ray & in-line ultrasound)
  • Trendelenburg inclination
  • Integrated 50 kW X-ray generator, 1k x 1k imaging chain, monochrome LCD monitor

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.
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 16.5 cm. Lithotripsy is also effective in obese patients.

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.
The patient table of the MODULITH SLX-F2 is equipped with a tilting device with a 30° swiveling 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.

Certain transurethral examinations or anesthetic procedures are facilitated if the patient is in a head-down position. The continuously adjustable Trendelenburg tilt ensures optimal treatment conditions even in difficult circumstances.

Modulith SLX-MX/S
Modulith SLX-MX/D
with digital radiography

  • Urological workstation for ESWL and endourology
  • Cylindrical electromagnetic shock wave source
  • (patented by Storz Medical)
  • Dual imaging (in-line x-ray & in-line ultrasound)
  • Patient table with floating table top

MODULITH SLC

  • First shock wave device for cardiac applications
  • Flexible cylindrical electromagnetic shock wave source

  • Transportable device

World’s first shock wave device for cardiology
The Modulith SLC is the world’s first shock wave device for the treatment of refractory angina pectoris.
Controlled application of precisely leveled shock wave pulses on ischemic areas of the heart muscle generates new capillaries (neo-angiogenesis) and increases circulation and metabolism. The effect is significant and lasting. Several thousand shock waves are delivered to the ischemic area under simultaneous inline-ultrasound control. ECG-triggering ensures shock wave release only during refractory period of the cardiac cycle, avoiding arrhythmic irritations. Significant reduction of complaints and enhanced cardiac function are achieved. The treatment modality does not require anesthesia and is essentially free of side effects.

Shock wave source: Like all Storz Medical lithotripters the Modulith SLC is equipped with the patented electromagnetic cylindrical shock wave generator. Due to its excellent dosage and stability, shock wave pulses are precisely matched to the individual anatomical conditions. Ischemic areas of the myocardium are selected and exposed to controlled levels of shock wave energy. The cylindrical configuration enables inline integration of ultrasound transducers for simultaneous observation of the shock wave, passing from skin to myocardium. The shock wave field is directed according to the live ultrasound image to avoid obstructing bones of the ribcage as far as possible and to keep lung tissue out of the shock wave pass. An important feature of the specific shock wave generator design is its ability to select an extremely wide range of energy levels. For cardiac application very low energy levels should be selected to start with to be followed by a gradual increase to therapeutic levels. Shock wave energy delivered remains precisely on the adjusted level, unless willingly modified. Energy fluctuations as common with ordinary shock wave generators are prevented by the unique design of the Storz Medical cylinder source.

Versatility and precision of targeting: The shock wave source of the Modulith SLC is mounted to a balanced articulated arm with hydraulic brakes. The device can be positioned and directed smoothly without effort. According to patients anatomy optimal positions and directions of shock wave access may be selected. Fine adjustment is controlled by a separate manual scanning mechanism. Minimal change of position and direction with the therapy head ensure optimal visualization and control with ultrasound. Last but not least, individually matched shock waves are released and triggered by ECG to avoid risky interference with cardiac cycle of the patient. The whole device is built in a trolley to be easily moved into its operation position and stored when not in use.
