The intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripter LITHOMED system is an electromechanical device which fragments the intracorporeal stones by direct contact lithotripsy i.e., solid, rigid probe  fragments the stones using a mechanism which is similar to that of a pneumatic jackhammer.

Multiple shock waves are generated at a pin point precision after energizing the control unit by foot switch. The compressed air enters the hand piece at a frequency of 1 to 12 cycles and hits the base of the probe which allows the piston to move and use the ballistic energy to fragment the stones.

The advanced features for the machines are:

1. Efficient and quick removal of  large renal calculi
2. Multiple pulse settings for better accuracy
3. Pin point precision of the controlled pulses to avoid the internal organ damage
4. Minimal bilateral movement
5. No thermal energy emitted as operational by product
6. Easy to use and no maintenance cost
7. Efficient fragmentation of the stone due to rigid nature of the probe
