<p>An apparatus for disintegrating calculuses (22) of the type in which a calculus in a human body of a patient (21) is disintegrated with a shock wave generated by a shock wave generator (12) through medium liquid (16) in an expandable container (13), the medium liquid (16) allowing the shock wave to propagate therethrough, the apparatus comprising a tank (29) storing the medium liquid, a sensor (31), (32) for detecting pressure in the container (13), and liquid control system (25 to 27, 33 to 35), when detected pressure exceeds a preset value, the liquid control system (25 to 27, 33 to 35) draining the medium liquid (16) from the container (13) to the tank (29) till the detected pressure drops below the preset value.</p> |
