Compact Sigma - Technology
Dornier continues to develop new technologies to obtain the highest level of efficacy and treatment flexibility from their lithotripters.  The result is low re-treatment rates, patient comfort and improved treatment efficiency.

EMSE, Electromagnetic Shock Wave Emitter


Today, hundreds of physicians trust Dornier's proven EMSE technology to deliver consistent, reliable energy which ensures low re-treatment rates with minimal side effects.

  • Consistent, reliable energy delivery
  • Shorter treatment times
  • High depth penetration and wide dynamic range
  • Low re-treatment rates
  • Minimal side effect

Flexible Therapy Head


The flexible therapy head introduces shock waves from different orientations allowing all treatments to be conducted with patients positioned comfortably on their backs, a unique feature of Dornier's Compact line of lithotripters.

  • Supports both lateral and horizontal orientation
  • Able to treat in both over- and under-table positions
  • All treatments are performed with patients remaining in the supine position

Isocentric Design


The isocentric design allows both the shock wave and the imaging system to revolve around a singles point.  This ensures precise alignment of the targeting system and the shockwave focus at all times.

  • Shockwave and imaging systems revolve around a single point
  • Ensures precise alignment of the targeting system and the shockwave focus
  • Scanning plane constantly passes through the focal spot as the X-ray and ultrasound imaging angles change allowing for continuous visibility
  • Easier to target under difficult conditions

Laser-Guided Alignment

The Dornier QuickLinx™ utilizes a laser pointer permanently  affixed on the C-arm to guarantee the C-arm and shock wave therapy head are accurately aligned.  This ensures the precise integration of the C-arm and the Compact Sigma at all times during the ESWL treatment, and at the same time provides additional visual verification to ensure treatment safety and efficacy.

Dual Mode Imaging


The system offers flexible imaging options which can be used independently or in combination to ensure localization under difficult anatomical conditions.

  • Two imaging modes - X-ray or the optional isocentric ultrasound
  • Flexible imaging options can be used independently or in combination
  • Single mode imaging using either X-ray or isocentric ultrasound
  • Dual imaging mode using two imaging options
