Dornier's Thulio offers excellent versatility in stone treatment, capable of supporting the precise cutting, shaping, dusting mode, and fragmentation of stones. The Captive Fragmenting Mode enables focused stone fragmentation with no visible retropulsion, and the dusting mode creates minimal dust fragments even while working at exceptional speeds. The Thulio is highly compact and effective. With its peak power, the Thulio knows no limits - regardless of stone size or hardness, I can treat stones as I see fit.
