With participation of the specialists from the 7th Central Military Clinical Aviation Hospital 4 pulse-wave complexes "Urat-P", "Urat-P2", "Ulitho", "Cholelithotriptor" were developed and introduced into clinical practice of the hospital. Distant pulse-wave lithotripsy was conducted 3035 patients (358 persons from flying staff). It is the main method of urolithiasis treatment, especially in the flying staff. Its efficiency is more than 96%. The modern models of lithotriptors are effective in destruction of biliary and urinary calculi and the applied parameters of wave impulses don't impact on the organs and tissues. The sphere of use of pulse-wave effect in the clinical practice was extended.
