  • External shock wave therapy (ESWT) electrohydraulic systems designed for orthopedic procedures. These systems typically consist of an electrically powered main unit that includes electrohydraulic (also known as spark-gap or electrostatic) generators and electrodes with appropriate characteristics (e.g., energy level, electrode shapes) for orthopedic treatments. When a high voltage is developed across the electrodes placed on a water-filler tank, the discharge of energy generates a vaporization bubble that expands and then collapses with the result of a high-energy pressure wave (i.e., the shock wave). Electrohydraulic ESWT systems are intended to trigger biological actions; they are intended for the treatment of diseases such as delayed healing fractures, hip necrosis, plantar fasciitis, and epicondylopathies (e.g., tennis elbow).
