Retrieve stones single-handedly without compromising time

A bench study demonstrated that stone basketing time with LithoVue Empower™ was similar to basketing with two surgeons and significantly improved compared to single-surgeon basketing.3 LithoVue Empower permits stone capture by a single surgeon without sacrificing efficiency.3

Physicians can basket alone

In a bench study, LithoVue Empower has a similar muscular workload to traditional two-person basketing.3

Consignment

Clinical staff are often overloaded by stock management activities. This issue is compounded by the challenging task of managing product traceability for regulatory compliance, which often results in suboptimal stock levels.

Invoicing

Orders and invoicing management  with the lack of clarity on product consumption vs invoicing requires significant administrative efforts. 

Procedure

The lack of capabilities to seamlessly monitor contract performance and profitability presents challenges in controlling and predicting the cost per patient.
