According to the National Renal Foundation, about 80 million individuals in the United States are at risk of kidney disease. Women (14%) are more likely than males to have kidney disease (12 percent ). However, three men's kidneys fail for every two women who have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In the United States, kidney illness is a significant cause of mortality. Kidney stones are commonly treated using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. It dissolves kidney, gallbladder, ureter, and salivary gland stones. It's also used to identify stone and break it up into smaller pieces. It's also useful for treating non-obstructing renal calculi. Such benefits are projected to make it easier to expand.
1. In 2018, Stroz Medical and Seimens Healthlineers formed a joint venture to develop strong extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) technology. This technology is being developed for the removal of stones from the whole urinary system by integrating the Cios family's movable C-arms technology.
2. In March 2020, M Yunus Regional Hospital in Benkulu, Indonesia, began Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) in order to give adequate and improved health services to the people of Bengkulu, Indonesia.

Because of the growing launch of novel products by major companies in the area, Europe is projected to retain a leading position in the worldwide extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy market. Dornier MedTech, for example, released the new OptiVision technology for the Dornier Delta III, as well as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, in September 2019. (ESWL). The OptiVision is the first image processing program designed to improve the efficiency of kidney stone therapy, i.e., visualization of the processes of processing the kidney stone during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which may aid in more effective treatment.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a medical treatment in which high-voltage, low-frequency electrical pulses are sent through the body of individuals with kidney stones. Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are masses of crystallized urine that build up in the kidneys, causing discomfort and edema. Although these stones do not usually cause mortality, their presence in the urinary tract can bring the patient and his family excruciating suffering.
