Global Lithotripters Market 2017-2021

Lithotripters market overview

The rising preference for minimally invasive (MI) procedures over open surgeries for the removal of kidney stones is driving the demand for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedure. Research analysis on the global lithotripters market identifies that the increasing number of ESWL procedures will be one of the major factors inducing a positive impact on the growth of the market. The demand for ESWL is increasing because it is performed by directing shockwaves. Lithotripter provides a focused and high-intensity acoustic pulse to break the kidney stones.

ESWL procedure can remove kidney stones that are radio-opaque and less than 0.79 inches in size. A large number of patients are adopting ESWL because it allows them to return to their routine almost immediately. Also, they offer a high success rate and has a minimal analgesic requirement.
