A lithotriptor is a medical device used to break down kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be easily passed out of the body through the urinary tract. It uses shock waves or laser technology to fragment the stones without the need for surgery.

It depends on how you crush it. If using ultrasound from outside the body, the procedure is called ESWL - extracorporeal sound wave lithotripsy . The machine used to perform this procedure is called a Lithotriptor.

+++ It doesn't "crush" the calculus, but cause it to disintegrate by cavitation induced by extremely high frequency sound-waves - basically they shake it to bits.
