Abstract

Appareil médical pour traiter le corps d'un homme ou d'un animal avec des ondes mécaniques de pression ou de choc. Cet appareil présente un dispositif (16) pour produire les ondes de pression ou de choc, qui comprend au moins une partie de percussion périodiquement mobile (18), un entraînement (42) pour la ou les parties de percussion (18) et au moins un corps d'impact (26), contre lequel percutent la ou les parties de percussion (18) pour produire les ondes de pression ou de choc dans le corps d'impact (26). La ou les parties de percussion (18) sont ici mobiles le long d'une voie de circulation (28) et percutent le ou les corps d'impact (26) lors de sa circulation le long de la voie de circulation (28).
