摘要 |
The invention relates to a single-blow mechanical shockwave generation device used in urological surgery for disintegration of urinary duct stones (1), comprising striking means (2) which strike shock wave generation means (3) at high speed. The shock waves are transmitted by shock wave transfer means (4) to an object for destruction with which said shock wave transfer means are in direct or indirect contact. The striking means (2) are displaced by means of the expansion of a high-pressure gas introduced prior to each shock wave generation into accumulation means (5) supplied with high pressure gas from independent gas stores (7) and with supply and sealing means whereby the stored gas is released by the manual manipulation of control means (8) which connect the accumulation means (5) to the striking means (2).
