Vantage Advanced Litho Care Limited, a member of the Vantage family of companies, began providing Lithotrispy service using Dornier HM-3 followed by an MFL-5000. In March 1998 we transitioned our customer base from mobile service to a Trans-Mobile Service.

We now provide the HMT LithoTron, which is wheeled directly into the hospital surgery center. This Trans-Mobile LithoTron has lowered the operating costs enabling us to pass on the savings to customers. This creates opportunity for smaller hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers to take advantage of this technology.

Benefits of the Trans-Mobile Service

  • No Capital Outlay or Start-Up Costs
  • Cuts the Procedure Cost
  • No Transportation of Patients To and From a Mobile Unit

The HMT LithoTron

  • Tested and Proven Highly Effective in FDA Trials
  • 4.1% Re-Treatment Rate
  • Sets a New Standard for the Treatment of Kidney Stones
  • Transported Into the Hospital for the Convenience of the Patients and Hospital Staff.

Facts about The LithoTron™

  • Spark gap technology, the most reliable and repeatable form of shock wave generation.
  • Lithotron provides excellent image quality. It allows fluoroscopy to be used at any time with no interruption of shocks!
  • The Focal Zone ellipse is a full 200 mm wide which reduces the sensation of pain at the skin surface, resulting in lower anesthesia requirements.
  • Trans-mobile technology eliminates the need to move patients out of the O.R. suite to a mobile trailer because the unit is brought directly into the hospital or ambulatory surgical facility.
  • FDA approved for non-gated treatments at a fixed frequency of 120 shocks per minute, thereby increasing patient throughput significantly.
  • It will accommodate patients up to 330 lbs and the focal zone will penetrate up to 150 mm, allowing larger patients to be treated successfully.
  • Its re-treatment rate is only 4.1% (per FDA studies).
