ShockPulse-SE vs. Trilogy Trial: Comparing the Performance of Two Intracorporeal Lithotripters for Removal of Large Renal Calculi

The Trilogy has been FDA cleared for fragmentation of urinary tract calculi in the kidney, ureter, and bladder. Trilogy is a combined piezoelectric/pneumatic device capable of fragmenting calculi and aspirating stone debris. The novel technology in Trilogy has been demonstrated in bench testing to more quickly disintegrate stones compared to other devices.

The ShockPulse-SE System is an electromechanical device capable of fragmenting calculi and aspirating stone debris. The novel technology in the ShockPulse-SE Lithotripsy System uses a single transducer and proprietary ShockPulse technology to generate both low-frequency mechanical impacts and high-frequency ultrasonic energy which quickly disintegrates stones.
