Apparatus for the contact-free disintegration of calculi |
摘要 |
The utilization of the apparatus fundamentally lies in the medical sector. An essentially planar shock wave is generated with the assistance of a shock wave tube via a magnetic dynamic effect. This shock wave is focussed by an acoustic convergent lens, whereby the calculus to be pulverized is placed at the focal point (F) of the convergent lens. In order to couple the shock wave to the patient, the space that the shock wave traverses is filled with a coupling agent, for example water. The shock wave tube, the convergent lens and a fine adjustment for the displacement of the convergent lens relative to the shock wave tube are attached to a mounting stand so as to be pivotable in all directions. This disintegration facility comprising a shock wave tube has high operating reliability with respect to high voltage, requires low maintenance, and has only negligible imaging or focussing errors resulting from the shock wave producing membrane and the convergent lens.
