Overview

LITHOTECH MEDICAL LTD. is one of the leading manufactures of
stone-Kydnees removals devices based on NiTi alloy under a
strategic agreement with Cook medical. LITHOTECH has today more
than 5 different stone entrapment and extraction devices, all
backed by patents for Surgical devices for retrieval of foreign
object from body.

The company is developing a new product - "Lithotripter" using a
new technology for stone shuttering and crushing. The
Lithotripter is based on high voltage nanosecond electric pulse
rather than laser.

Lithotech now has three product lines:

* Lithoextractors. Different models of stone retrieval baskets
had been developed to serve different operational needs. All
Lithotech baskets are made of superelastic NiTi alloys. The NiTi
basket size available are 2.5 to 5 Fr. The unique design of these
baskets features an asymmetric shape along their central axis,
and the way how the NiTi wires are interweaved and twisted
together. This woven basket creates a special shape that will not
allow stones to fall out at the extraction stage and, on the
other hand, will ensure easy stone capture. Apart from this,
special structure of stone extractors increases their springiness
and flexibility that in turn help to reduce the traumatic
influence on body tissues.

* Lithotriptors: A new technology of stone shattering has been
developed based on electrical breakdown caused by a high-voltage
pulse of nanosecond duration. This technology allows to break the
stone using relatively low energy (<0.5 joule). The preferred use
is in cases where the stone has a relatively large size
(hindering its free exit from urethra or its retrieval by stone
extractor) and when the stone has sharp edges or the ureter shape
prevents its free extraction. This new device offers a
high-performance and minimally traumatic method of fragmenting a
calculi. Lithotripsy is performed via a flexible probe of 2.5 - 5
Fr diameters.

* LithoextractorTriptor. A combination of Lithoextractor and
Lithotriptor designed for use in some cases where either of them
alone is not enough. The small diameters of both the extractor
and the triptor enable to combine them into one 4 -5 Fr tool.
