STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2 Remote Lithotripter

Innovative Technology for Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are one of the most common urological conditions today and can develop at any age. According to statistics, approximately one million people worldwide develop kidney stones each year.

If left untreated, kidney stones may cause:

• Urinary obstruction

• Infections

• Impaired kidney function

For these reasons, rapid diagnosis and timely treatment are vital.

In the past, traditional treatment methods often required lengthy rehabilitation and were associated with pain and stress. Fortunately, modern medicine now offers minimally invasive solutions that break down stones quickly, safely, and effectively.

One such innovative technology is the STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2 remote lithotripter, actively used at the Academician Vakhtang Bochorishvili Clinic.

MODULITH SLX-F2 is one of the most advanced and sophisticated systems in the world, patented by the Swiss company STORZ MEDICAL, a leader in endoscopic surgery founded by Karl Storz, a pioneer in endoscopy.

This technology uses specialized shock waves to fragment kidney and ureteral stones without damaging surrounding tissues.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is one of the safest, most effective, and minimally invasive methods for treating kidney stones.

How Does the Procedure Work?

During the procedure, the STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2 generates high-energy shock waves precisely focused on the stone. These waves weaken the stone structure, gradually breaking it into small fragments that are naturally eliminated from the body.

Advantages of STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2

This innovative system combines advanced imaging, an electromagnetic shock wave source, personalized treatment parameters, and modern clinical approaches.

Dynamic Flat-Panel X-ray Detector

The 21 cm × 21 cm flat-panel detector ensures precise localization of the stone. High-quality imaging allows physicians to monitor the entire process in real time and plan treatment accurately while minimizing complications.

24-inch High-Resolution Monitor

Provides clear, detailed visualization during the procedure, ensuring shock waves are directed precisely at the stone and not surrounding tissues.

Electromagnetic Shock Wave Source

Shock waves are precisely targeted at the stone, minimizing impact on surrounding tissues. This reduces discomfort and lowers the risk of complications.

Dual Focus Technology

Allows physicians to adjust energy and power settings according to each patient’s individual needs, based on stone size and density.

StorM-Touch Platform

Central control panel enabling full system management and precise stone targeting.

StorM-Base

Ensures secure storage of patient data in a unified database, facilitating monitoring and informed clinical decision-making.

Integration with Clinical Infrastructure

MODULITH SLX-F2 meets modern infrastructure standards:

• Integration with clinic networks via DICOM and HL7 protocols

• Secure data storage

• Full compatibility with IT systems

Use at Bochorishvili Clinic

Diagnosis

The procedure begins with detailed patient evaluation to determine stone size, location, and type.

Personalized Treatment Strategy

Using Dual Focus, specialists tailor shock wave parameters individually, adjusting energy level, session duration, and number of waves for optimal results with minimal side effects.

Monitoring and Control

All procedures are controlled via the StorM-Touch platform.

Patient Comfort

The procedure is completely non-invasive and maximally comfortable. No incisions, no anesthesia, no prolonged rehabilitation, and no damage to surrounding tissues.

Shock waves are directed exclusively at the stone, protecting other organs.

This method is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo surgery due to heart conditions, weakened immunity, or chronic diseases.

Conclusion

MODULITH SLX-F2 transforms kidney stones from a complex medical challenge into a manageable condition.

Modern technology, professional expertise, and a comfortable clinical environment ensure patient safety, confidence, and reliable results.

Remote lithotripsy - especially with STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2 - is today one of the safest, most comfortable, and most effective solutions for kidney stone treatment.
