Device for the electrolytic dissolution of urinary stones and related method of treatment of urinary calculosis

摘要

A device for the electrolytic dissolution of urinary calculi in patients affected by urinary calculosis, the particularity whereof consists of the fact that it has: a tubular sleeve which is meant to be inserted in the urinary cavities of a patient, a cathode electrode accommodated in the sleeve, and at least one anode electrode which can slide within the sleeve so as to protrude, in an active position, from the sleeve in order to make contact with a calculus and dissolve it electrolytically in association with the cathode electrode.
