Figure 6

Pneumatic-ballistic device (Lithoclast) for the destruction of all 1.8 F tipless baskets, 3 of four 2.5 F tipless baskets, and one of four 2.5 F Dormia baskets. For the 1.8 F tipless baskets, the device just needed less than one second/one pulse. For the bigger wires, the device needed fewer than 5 sec/20 pulses.
