Abstract

A focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (f-ESWT) system includes an f-ESWT device and a plurality of interchangeable standoff structures. The f-ESWT device includes a housing. The f-ESWT device is configured to generate a focused shock wave as a combination of a plurality of individual shock waves. Each standoff structure is configured for removable connection to the housing to receive and to transmit the plurality of individual shock waves. Each standoff structure of the plurality of interchangeable standoff structures includes a rigid exterior shell defining a shell space, and an elastomeric interior at least partially located in the shell space. The plurality of individual shock waves is transmitted through the rigid exterior shell and the elastomeric interior of a selected standoff structure of the plurality of interchangeable standoff structures that is removably connected to the housing.
