Abstract
A stone disintegrator apparatus includes a main capacitor for receiving power from a power source, a charge circuit for charging the main capacitor, and a discharge circuit which is turned on during the discharge so as to supply a charge of the main capacitor to discharge electrodes. There is also provided a switch member, e.g., a discharge lamp to be de-energized during the discharge, for electrically isolating the main capacitor from the power source so as to disintegrate a stone in an internal organ.
