The shock wave energy for highly effective and painless treatment.

Richard Wolf developed the piezo-ceramic shockwave technology because it is one of the most precise, effective and economic means of generating shockwaves. The  piezo-electric shockwaves set new standards of shockwave technology for the urological stone-lithotripsy and orthopedic shockwave therapy.

The shockwave energy for this effective and virtually painless treatment is generated by thousands of piezo-ceramic elements. They are placed on a self focusing base plate and generate a high energy impulse of more than 1000 bar pressure. Triggered by a high-voltage pulse the cylinder-shaped piezo-ceramic elements expand briefly. The precise focal point on a small area allows destroying even the hardest kind of stones.
