The Delta III reflects Dornier's continued commitment to developing the most cutting-edge solutions for kidney stone treatment. Compared to its predecessor, the Delta III provides improvements of:

1. Powerful IMAGING (for improved stone visualization)
2. Maximized ENERGY (to treat more stones in more patients)
3. Enhanced EFFICIENCY (with time saving features to serve more patients)

Powerful IMAGING: the system provides improved imaging quality with 400%² more power and two imaging modalities (Ultrasound or X-ray) for better stone visibility.  

Maximized ENERGY: the New 180 EMSE (+25% larger²) delivers more power for enhanced penetration depth to treat larger patients.  In a 183 patient clinical study, the new 180 EMSE was shown to deliver a similar 95% stone free success rate ? for patients with BMI higher than 25, as with patients with BMI below 25.³  Combined with Dornier's exclusive Opticouple®, an optical camera system, visualized air bubbles are removed in the coupling gel at the interface of the therapy head and patient's skin via the user.  Clinical research⁴ shows a 43% increase in effectiveness with less shock waves energy needed per treatment. 

Enhanced EFFICIENCY: Additionally, the Delta III increases ease of use and improves time saving workflow with its patent protected Unified Hand Control with precise fingertip control of the lithotripter, table and X-ray C-arm movements.   

The Delta® III is proudly made in Munich, Germany.
