Employing the physics principle of Hertz Contact Stress, fragmentation is achieved after force is applied. Elixir states that non-calcified segments of the lesion are mostly unaffected, minimising ...

The IVL mechanism of action is based on a physics principle of Hertz Contact Stress and requires no capital equipment making the procedure workflow and learning curve simpler and faster.

Using this unique mechanism of action, the LithiX Hertz Contact IVL System aims to improve treatment of moderate to severe calcified lesions without requiring an external power source, positively ...

The contact stress produced by the roller load was calculated by using Hertz contact theory. Based on the nonlinear regression analysis between the input parameters and the output plastic deformations ...
