Powering the Future of Lithotripsy Technology
Off-the-shelf power supplies for lithotripsy systems can save months of development time if selected early enough, according to Todd Huston, Advanced Energy.
Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) breaks up calcified plaque using shock waves generated by electrodes inside a balloon catheter, as shown in the illustration.
These evolutions are enabling the treatment of symptoms in a greater range of conditions and leading to shortened hospital stays and expanding outpatient treatment options.
These advances rely on high-voltage pulsed power systems, which must be considered early in the design cycle to effectively implement power supplies in lithotripsy.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) remains the most widely used form of lithotripsy.
