Calculus smashing and removing integrated device

Abstract

The invention discloses a calculus smashing and removing integrated device. According to the calculus smashing and removing integrated device, a group of mini-sized electric vibrators are arranged on a wave source of an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter or a machine tool of the lithotripter; the vibrators are in contact with the patient epidermis which is close to the smashed calculus; the gravitational fields of the smashed calculus inside patient tissues are changed according to the calculus removing requirements through mechanical shock to assist the calculus to be removed with accelerative speed; the calculus smashing and removing effect can be observed in real time through images of a B-ultrasonic on the lithotripter or an X-ray machine; the traditional lithotripter is changed into a device with the calculus removing function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices, and relates to adding an electromechanical stone removal device to an existing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter to help the crushed stones to be quickly discharged from the urinary tract. Background technique [0002] Hospitals now use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy as the first choice for the treatment of urinary calculi. After extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, the crushed stones are excreted through the patient's urine. However, due to the structural problems of the kidneys and ureters, many crushed stones are not easy to discharge, and it often takes several weeks or even three months to clear them. In order to speed up the stone expulsion process, doctors often advise patients to drink more water after surgery, and to take measures such as jumping, tapping, running or handstand to expel stones. Although this will have a certain effect, it is difficult for patients to grasp qu...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this will have a certain effect, it is difficult for patients to grasp quantitatively, which is neither convenient nor standardized.

Strictly speaking, the process of removing stones after crushing stones also belongs to the scope of treatment. Let patients solve it by themselves, which cannot be regarded as the completion of treatment.

In order to solve the problem of speeding up the excretion of gravel from the urinary tract, someone has manufactured a stone expulsion machine. Its structure and principle are mainly to let the patient lie on a bed that can change the plane angle, and the doctor holds a mechanical device with a vibration function to control the patient. The body position is vibrated to help expel stones, and a special B-ultrasound machine is used to observe the effect of stone expulsion. Such equipment is extremely expensive
