<p>A shock wave source (1) comprises a decoupling membrane (7), which can be coupled fcr example to a patient (13) via the coupling body (11). The coupling body (11) consists of an elastic, dimensionally stable material (e.g. a solid hydrogel) with damp outside surfaces. In the coupling body (11) there is a shock wave sensor (15). The shock wave sensor (15) can be in the form of a small electrical pressure sensor, e.g. a piezoelectric sensor with PVDF film, or a (preferably optical) indicator, for example in the form of a thin lead sheet. An advantage of integrating the sensor (5) and the coupling body (11) in this way is that the functioning of the shock wave source (1) can be monitored during treatment of the patient (13). After maintenance or repair work, the use of the coupling body (11) permits simple, correct adjustment of the shock wave source (1) to its original operating data (e.g. position). <IMAGE></p> |
