Extracorporeal Lithotripsy
for Kidney Stones
This trial is testing the Break Waveâ„¢ system, which uses sound waves to break up kidney stones. It targets patients with stones between 4mm and 10mm in size. The goal is to see if the device is safe and effective in making the stones small enough to pass naturally. The Break Waveâ„¢ system is a new method of lithotripsy that uses short, broadly focused bursts of ultrasound rather than shock waves to fragment stones.
