Lithotripsy is a surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones and other hard masses in the urinary tract. It involves the use of shock waves to break up the stones into smaller pieces that can be passed naturally. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis. It is often used as an alternative to more invasive surgical procedures, such as open surgery.
The lithotripsy market is a growing segment of the surgical procedures market. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of kidney stones, as well as the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more people seek out this type of treatment.
Some of the major players in the lithotripsy market include Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, Olympus Corporation, and Storz Medical. Show Less Read more
