Publication number: 20230293196Abstract: Electrohydraulic lithotripters comprising a plurality of electrohydraulic probes are disclosed. Each probe of the plurality of probes comprise a first electrode and a second electrode positioned at a distal end of the probe such that when the probe is discharged, an electric arc between the first electrode and the second electrode produces a shockwave that radiates from the distal end of the probe. A first probe and a second probe of the plurality of probes may be configured to discharge simultaneously or sequentially.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Northgate Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Robert Mantell
