About Lesson

This course has been developed to provide a structured understanding of shockwave lithotripsy, including its principles, techniques, and clinical considerations.

The content is intended purely for educational purposes. It does not replace formal training, manufacturer instructions, or institutional protocols.

Each lithotripter system has specific technical characteristics, energy limits, and safety recommendations. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide system-specific guidance, and the responsibility of the user to follow those recommendations.

Lithotripsy Academy does not assume any liability for clinical decisions, treatment outcomes, or complications arising from the use of this information.

Users are expected to apply their own clinical judgment, consider patient-specific factors, and adhere to local regulations and safety standards while performing any procedure.
