title: Iatrogenic lithotripsy failure: penetration of shock waves through tape.
abstract: Foam tape used to protect epidural catheters during immersion in a Dornier HM3 lithotriptor was identified retrospectively as the cause of poor stone fragmentation. Studies of shock wave penetration through various protective type materials indicate that a particular water repellant tape is least likely to impair shock wave penetration.
