This World Kidney Stone Day, we’re honoring the millions affected by kidney stones, and the clinicians who champion their care!
On February 7th, 1980, we introduced extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), the world’s first non-invasive treatment for kidney stones. Since then, we’ve continued to innovate boldly, stepping up to meet the evolving realities of kidney stone care. Today, our solutions – from lithotripters to our latest FANS combination – support urologists across a wide range of clinical approaches. Our digital solutions extend our support beyond the clinic, bridging the gap between physicians and patients through the largest global kidney stone community and an AI-powered patient education chatbot.
At Dornier, we are proud to support our communities worldwide, with meaningful solutions that help to advance urological care!
