Intragastral disintegration of blood coagula by mechanical vibration.

A new method of intragastral disintegration of big blood coagula by mechanical waves is described. Intragastral application of ultrasound was disappointing. A flexural electromagnetic resonator was brought up for clinical trial and showed an effective intragastral thrombotripsy. Even other substances like tablets, food or scybala could be disintegrated. The described method represents a simple, safe and efficient procedure which will enrich the catalogue of possiblities in endoscopic examinations.
