Boston Scientific DT-492B Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy Torque Wrench – Precision Accessory for Advanced Stone Management

The Boston Scientific DT-492B Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy Torque Wrench is a specialized, high-precision accessory designed exclusively for use with the Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy Lithotripter, one of the most advanced and efficient stone management systems in modern urology. As part of Boston Scientific’s long-standing commitment to innovation in endourology, the DT-492B provides surgeons and healthcare teams with a reliable, durable, and clinically proven tool that enhances the performance, setup, and overall reliability of the Trilogy platform during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and other stone removal procedures.

Purpose & Function

The DT-492B torque wrench is an essential accessory included in the Trilogy system kit, specifically engineered to provide secure connections, precision tightening, and effortless integration of surgical components. Its role ensures that the Trilogy system maintains peak operational safety and consistency, minimizing risks of misalignment or downtime in the operating room. In high-pressure surgical environments where time and precision are critical, the DT-492B becomes a trusted instrument that supports efficiency and reliability.

Integration with the Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy System

The Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy Lithotripter represents a breakthrough in stone management technology, combining dual energy modalities (ultrasonic + ballistic) with synchronized suction in a single probe design. This innovation allows for rapid stone fragmentation and immediate clearance, significantly reducing procedure time compared to conventional systems.

Single-probe convenience, eliminating the need for multiple instruments.

Reduced OR time, with average stone removal in PCNL completed in just 24 minutes across multiple U.S. clinical settings.

The DT-492B torque wrench is a crucial part of this ecosystem, providing the secure instrument handling needed to sustain this level of performance. By ensuring precise assembly and torque control, the wrench helps the Trilogy deliver consistent energy transfer and suction flow, maximizing both stone clearance rates and surgeon confidence.

Design, Durability, and Reliability

Boston Scientific designs every component of the Trilogy system—including the DT-492B torque wrench—to meet stringent medical standards. Built with durable, medical-grade materials, the DT-492B withstands the rigors of repeated sterilization and frequent use in operating rooms worldwide.

Robust construction for long-lasting performance.

Ergonomic design that enables easy use during surgical preparation.

Precision torque delivery, ensuring the correct amount of tightening pressure is applied without damaging delicate instruments.

Trusted clinical history, with availability on the secondary market in excellent used condition—demonstrating its durability and long-term reliability.

Clinical Benefits & Workflow Efficiency

The DT-492B may appear to be a small accessory, but in practice, it is a critical enabler of surgical workflow. When paired with the Swiss LithoClast® Trilogy, it allows clinicians to:

Save valuable time by facilitating smooth instrument setup and ensuring system reliability.

Reduce risk of procedural complications due to improper assembly or equipment slippage.

Support clinical outcomes, as the Trilogy system (backed by the DT-492B) enables faster stone clearance, potentially reducing patient exposure to anesthesia and overall recovery time.

Optimize OR efficiency, helping hospitals and surgical centers perform more procedures in less time while maintaining Boston Scientific’s high standards of safety and performance.
