New shockwave machine aims to blast kidney stones away

NCT ID NCT04771182

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new device called the Enhanced Lithotripsy System (ELS) that uses shockwaves from outside the body to break kidney stones into tiny pieces. The goal was to see if it could safely clear stones or leave only very small fragments (less than 3 mm) after up to two treatments. The study planned to include 25 adults with stones in the kidney or ureter, but it was stopped early.
