A hand-held component of a dermatological extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) system designed to transmit spark-gap-generated (electrohydraulic) shock waves to treat acute and chronic conditions of the skin and subcutaneous soft tissues (e.g., arterial, venous, diabetic or pressure ulcers; burns; traumatic wounds; cellulite). It is connected to the system generator by a flexible conduit and has a fluid-filled head portion intended to be moved over the skin surface of the treatment area for application of the shock waves. It is typically used with a sterile drape during treatment of open wounds and requires a sterile transmission media (ultrasonic gel). This is a reusable device.
