Powering the Future of Lithotripsy Technology

Off-the-shelf power supplies for lithotripsy systems can save months of development time if the right option is selected early enough, according to Todd Huston of Advanced Energy.

The evolution of lithotripsy technology is enabling the treatment of symptoms in a greater range of conditions, leading to shortened hospital stays and expanding outpatient treatment options.

These advances rely on high-voltage pulsed power systems.

Implementing power supplies in lithotripsy poses challenges, making it crucial to consider power needs early in the design cycle.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) remains the most widely used form of lithotripsy.
