PCT No. PCT/DE96/00720 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 17, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 17, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/33661 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 31, 1996Disclosed is an intracorporal treatment system for crushing concretions, such as stones in the urinary tract, calcium deposits in the blood vessels or bone cement, having a thrust unit which accelerates a thrust element in an acceleration path in such a manner that it impinges upon a target, and a thrust transmitter designed as a probe which can be inserted into a human body and which is moved by the target in order to transmit the thrust to the treatment site. The invented treatment system is distinguised by the fact that the axes of the acceleration path and the thrust transmitter are offset and that said target is a non-axially acting transformation element which transmits the kinetic energy of said thrust element onto the proximal end of said thrust transmitter.
