Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Market - Global Industry Insights 2025Posted by Pareesh on October 13th, 2017 Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a non-invasive treatment for kidney stone and biliary calculi, using an acoustic pulse and are also used for salivary stones and pancreatic stones. The lithotripter supplies a high intensity acoustic pulse to crush the stone causing minimal collateral damage to the normal tissue and the shock waves break the stones into smaller portion. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are widely used by the physician globally due to its important characteristic such as non-invasiveness, recovery time, reduced pain and reduced hospital stay. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy success rate is high for patients with smaller stones such as less than 1 centimeter.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy market is being fuelled by rise in incidence of kidney stones Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a valuable tool for eradication of stones from kidney, ureter, gallbladder, salivary gland, or salivary duct. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is used to find the stone and break it down into smaller fragments. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy generates shockwaves, which are then focused onto the stone present in body with negligible diversion of energy that favors minimal damage to tissue. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is also most effective in treatment of non-obstructing renal calculi. Whereas the composition and density of stone decides the rate of shockwaves to be generated. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, number of adults diagnosed by kidney disease are 4.9 million in the U.S. in 2015.
