Lithotripsy is a non-invasive surgery procedure that is used to treat the kidney stones which are large to pass through the urinary tract. It can be achieved by passing the sharp ultrasonic energy waves or shock waves directly to the stone that is located previously with fluoroscopy or ultrasound. Ultrasonic waves break the stone into the smaller pieces that can pass through urinary system. It was launched in 1980. It works by passing shock waves to the stone of desired site. These shock waves are generated by a machine called a lithotripter and are focused by the x-ray onto the kidney stone. These waves travel into the body through the skin and tissue and finally reach the stone where they break it down into small fragments. This technique has various advantage as it is completely non-invasive procedure, it is used in patients having small kidney stones, which can be easily seen by the X-ray. It can be used in the case of kidney stones where stones are located in the urinary tract, also there may be some or the other reasons for the recommendations of the lithotripsy procedure. Lithotripsy has some types which includes extracorporeal shock wave therapy, intracorporeal lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy, electrohydraulic lithotripsy, mechanical lithotripsy, ultrasonic lithotripsy.
COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:
To take care of infected population the demand for medical supplies is increasing. Respiratory support device such as atomizer, life-support machine, oxygen generator, and monitor are among the majorly used medical device in primary clinical treatment. Moreover, COVID-19 has led to a huge surge in demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses. With rise in number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, the need for medical supplies keeps on rising among, both from healthcare professionals and civil population for precautionary measures. Manufacturers of these products have a chance to capitalize this increased demand of medical supplies to ensure adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the lithotripsy devices market.
