Abstract
Systems and methods for promoting sexual well-being in males and in some cases for treating erectile dysfunction and, more particularly, to such systems that use shock waves delivered to tissue.
Claims14
A tissue treatment device comprising:
- an elongate tubular assembly extending along an axis with an interior chamber having a proximal opening therein adapted for receiving a shaft of a penis of a patient;
- and
- a first acoustic energy emitter and a second acoustic energy emitter, each on opposing sides of the interior chamber for delivering an acoustic energy at a high intensity sufficient to produce shock waves to opposing sides of said shaft;
- a sensor in the interior chamber for sensing a physiological parameter of the patient;
- and
- a controller for actuating the first acoustic energy emitter and the second acoustic energy emitter contemporaneously or sequentially, and where the controller is adapted for actuating the first acoustic energy emitter and the second acoustic energy emitter contemporaneous with axial movement of the first acoustic energy emitter and the second acoustic energy emitter.

A tissue treatment method comprising:
- positioning a mammalian penile shaft of a patient in an interior chamber of an elongate tubular assembly;
- delivering shock waves to the mammalian penile shaft from a plurality of shock wave emitters disposed in the interior chamber;
- using a sensor in the interior chamber for to sense a physiological parameter of the patient;
- storing a data related to the physiological parameter of the patient;
- and
- where delivering shock waves comprises delivering shock waves at a selected parameter to the mammalian penile shaft and storing data related to the selected parameter.

A tissue treatment method comprising:
- positioning a mammalian penile shaft of a patient in an interior chamber of an elongate tubular assembly;
- delivering shock waves to the mammalian penile shaft from a plurality of shock wave emitters disposed in the interior chamber;
- utilizing at least one sensor in the interior chamber to sense a physiological parameter of the patient;
- and
- storing a data related to the physiological parameter;
- and where delivering shock waves comprises delivering shock waves at selected parameters to the mammalian penile shaft and storing data related to the selected parameters.
