DEVICE FOR GENERATION OF THERAPEUTIC SHOCK WAVES AND ITS APPLICATION

摘要

1. A method including: providing a plurality of acoustic waves that have at least one frequency of at least 1 MHz; propagating at least a portion of the acoustic waves through a shock wave medium configured to exhibit non-linear properties in the presence of propagating acoustic waves for having to generate a lot of shock waves; and the delivery of at least a portion of the specified set of shock waves to at least one cell structure containing at least one heterogeneity region; and the destruction of at least one cell structure using continuous delivery of the specified set of shock waves. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one heterogeneity region has an effective density that is higher than the effective density of at least one cell structure. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of varying the frequency of the acoustic waves. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of varying the amplitude of the acoustic waves. The method of claim 1, wherein the delivery step comprises delivering at least a portion of said plurality of shock waves to the patient's epidermis layer. The method according to claim 5, wherein said delivery step further comprises the step of placing said shock wave medium near the epidermis layer. The method of claim 1, wherein a plurality of shock waves are generated in said shock wave medium. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of driving the first acoustic wave generator in order to provide a plurality of acoustic waves. The method of claim 8, which will complement
