Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy,
which uses an acoustic pulse to treat kidney stones and biliary calculi, is
also used to treat salivary stones and pancreatic stones. The lithotripter
delivers a high-intensity acoustic pulse that crushes the stone while
inflicting minimum collateral harm to normal tissue, and shock waves shatter
the stones into smaller fragments.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
is a type of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy that is frequently utilised
by physicians throughout the world because to its significant characteristics
such as non-invasiveness, quick recovery, reduced pain, and short hospital
stay. Patients with tiny stones (less than 1 centimetre) have a good success
rate with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The extracorporeal
shock wave lithotripsy market is also expected to develop due to rising
obesity rates and an increase in the number of diabetic patients.

In addition, the increased occurrence
of kidney and ureter stones is likely to promote market growth in the near
future. The market is expected to rise due to the rapid expansion of healthcare
infrastructure in emerging economies and growing awareness of the availability
of technically advanced equipment to carry out treatments. Within one to two days
after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment, the patient can resume
normal activities. The prevalence of kidney stones was observed to be higher in
women than in men in the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
The extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy market can be divided into
three categories: technological, applications, and end-user. The market can be
divided into three technological segments: electrohydraulic technology,
piezoelectric technique, and electromagnetic technique. The most ancient and
unique way of shockwave generating is electrohydraulic. As a result, it has the
biggest market share and is the most often used extracorporeal shock wave
lithotripsy treatment among physicians and doctors. The piezoelectric
technology, on the other hand, is expected to expand at the fastest rate during
the forecast period. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is utilised for
kidney stones, uretic stones, pancreatic stones, and salivary stones, among
other applications. The highest market share belongs to extracorporeal shock
wave lithotripsy for kidneys, which is expected to rise at a steady rate over
the projected period. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is divided into
hospitals, clinics, radiology labs, and other settings, depending on the
end-user. The end-user market for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was
dominated by hospitals. However, due to technical advancements and shorter
recovery times and early discharge after treatment, the number of clinics delivering
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is increasing.
