Milestones in ESWL / ESWT / TPST

1982 - Extracorporeal shock waves were first used successfully in lithotripsy.

1986 - Richard Wolf is the first to develop a shock wave device based on piezo technology:

1986 PiezoLith 2300

Worldwide the first ESWL device with inline ultrasound location without anaesthesia.

1990 PiezoLith 2500

The first extracorporeal lithotriptor with X-ray and ultrasound location in situ.

1995 PiezoLith 2501

Interdisciplinary therapy centre with a modular design, location units can be used separately for diagnosis

1998 PiezoSon 300

First shock wave device developed specially for applications in orthopaedics (ESWT).

2000 PiezoSon 100

Introduction of the first desktop device for ESWT.

2001 PiezoLith 3000

Unique worldwide - the new piezoelectric shock wave source with two-layer technology. Maximum dynamic power range - smallest unit.

2004 PiezoSon 100 Plus

Development of the PiezoSon 100 Plus for use in ESWT and TPST

2006 PiezoWave

The newly developed PiezoWave for ESWT/TPST arrives on the market. This is used in trigger point therapy and orthopaedics.

2008 WellWave

A pain therapy device developed for the TPST / physiotherapy. One large treatment area is the therapy of myofascial pain syndrome, injury to muscle, trigger points and acute and chronic sport injuries

2008 PiezoLith 3000 triple focus

Newly developed triple focus: The optimum therapy for stones of all types because no stone is quite like any other.
