🚢 SEAFARERS: DON’T LET KIDNEY STONES DELAY YOUR NEXT CONTRACT.
Kidney stones can be a problem during your PEME, medical clearance, or deployment—especially when you’re about to go onboard.
⚡ SHOCKWAVE LITHOTRIPSY (ESWL) offers a non-invasive way to break selected kidney and ureteral stones into smaller fragments using focused shockwaves. (Not for Gallstones)
🎥 Watch the video: Ultrasound-guided shockwaves fragmenting a kidney stone in real time.
✅ No incision
✅ No endoscope inserted
✅ Usually done as an outpatient procedure
✅ Can be an option for appropriately selected stones
⚓ Have a kidney stone noted during your seafarer medical examination?
Don’t wait until it becomes a problem while you’re at sea.
