Efficacy of the Sonolith Vision Lithotripter According to the Electrode Lifespan: An in Vitro Study

Abstract

As the number of consumed electrode shocks increased, the number of test stone broken shocks increased, by an average rate of 12%. Thus when the consumed electrode shocks increase by 10,000 units, the user should increase the number of shocks by about 12% to accomplish equal treatment for all patients.
