Shock Wave Lithotripsy, also known as SWL, is the most popular treatment for kidney stones. Lithotripsy uses shock waves or lasers to dissolve kidney, gallbladder, and ureter stones. There are two types: intracorporeal and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). High-energy shock waves that reach urolithiasis are used in lithotripsy. High-energy shock waves reduce the stones to small pieces that can easily be passed through your urinary tract. Shock-wave Lithotripsy (SWL), is performed using a machine that can remove kidney stones from the outside. Focused shock waves, which are short pulses of high-energy sound waves that travel through the skin to break the stone's surface, are used. The shock waves are absorbed by the stone and broken down into smaller pieces. The urine then passes the stone fragments. Shockwave lithotripsy is a noninvasive method for breaking down kidney stones using high-energy shock waves. The least invasive and most risky method for stone treatment is SWL. The kidney stones are broken down by shock waves emanating from the outside. Sometimes it is called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy.
This industry is impacted by the rapid increase in penetration of this technology. It also has other benefits such as its minimally invasive nature, minimal pain, and quick recovery with shock wave lithotripsy. These benefits will help the industry gain momentum in the future. The industry is expected to grow over the forecast period due to an increase in procedures and an increase in healthcare spending in both developed and developing nations. Industry growth is expected to be aided by the rising prevalence of obesity and other lifestyle disorders. The industry is expected to gain more revenue through increased awareness and better preventive care. The major drivers of global lithotripsy device market growth are the increasing incidence of urolithiasis, an aging population, technological advances in lithotripsy equipment, increased demand for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy procedures worldwide, and an aging population. The growth of the global market for lithotripsy devices is being resisted by the introduction of alternative methods such as percutaneous and intramuscular nephrolithotomy, and disposable ureteroscopes that are used to fragment urolithiasis. Some of the major factors that will limit the growth of the global lithotripsy market include blood tissue damage, necrosis, and bleeding intra-abdominal, as well as the potential side effects of lithotripsy treatment.
