Storz – Neurolith

MODERN THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURE FOR TREATING ALZHEIMER’S SYMPTOMS

The key mechanism induced by TPS is mechanotransduction. The stimulation of growth factors not only improves cerebral blood flow, but also promotes the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and nerve regeneration. An additional effect is the release of nitric oxide, which leads to direct vasodilation and improved blood circulation.

NEUROLITH

An innovative system with convincing design features. The special ergonomic shape of the TPS handpiece minimizes hand fatigue to facilitate treatment working directly on the patient. The coupling surface adapts easily to any shape of head, making the treatment with focused pulses simple and efficient. The NEUROLITH software includes patient management functionalities with retrievable data and recommended treatment parameters.

Advantages of the NEUROLITH

• Focused stimulation of deep cerebral regions
• Personalized 3D visualization of patient’s head
• 3D infrared camera system for precise cerebral tracking
• USB interface for MRI data import
• Patient database
