## Abstract

A device for treatment of the Peyronie's disease, containing a hollow cylindrical body placed in the bed of a fixed base plate for precision positioning of the penis with respect to the center of the plaque in its subcutaneous tissue, wherein adjacent to the cylindrical body is the face of the shock wave generator firmly connected to a supporting rigid navigation frame with the possibility of travel in three mutually orthogonal directions and three rotations in three mutually perpendicular planes to ensure the localization of the highest shock wave energy level in the second focal point of the shock wave generator which is identical to the position of the center of the plaque, and the space between the inner and outer walls of the cylindrical body is filled with degassed water with a temperature close to the patient's temperature.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for treatment of the Peyronie's disease of a penis, the device comprising:
a shock wave generator firmly connected to a supporting rigid navigation frame, wherein the navigation frame is moveably supported in three mutually orthogonal directions and in three rotations in three mutually perpendicular planes to ensure the localization of the highest shock wave energy level of a shock wave generated by the shock wave generator in a second focal point of the shock wave generator which is identical to the position of a center of a plaque in the subcutaneous tissue of a penis to be treated; and
a hollow cylindrical body for receiving a penis to be treated, wherein the hollow cylindrical body comprises an inner and an outer wall which define a space,
wherein the hollow cylindrical body is formed by a tube having a hollow wall,
wherein the hollow cylindrical body is placed in a bed of a fixed base plate for precision positioning of the penis to be treated with respect to the center of a plaque in its subcutaneous tissue,
wherein adjacent to the hollow cylindrical body is a face of the shock wave, and
wherein the space between the inner and outer walls of the cylindrical body is filled with degassed water with a temperature close to the patient's temperature.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the hollow cylindrical body is made of an elastic material selected from the group of bio-compatible polymer, rubber, composite material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the hollow cylindrical body is provided with a water valve for letting the water in/out of the space defined by the inner and outer wall of the hollow cylindrical body and a manual and/or software control of the hydraulic pressure.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device according to any of claim 1, wherein the hollow cylindrical body is connected to the base plate by a bond selected from the group consisting of mechanical, magnetic and electromagnetic.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the hollow cylindrical body is coated with a layer of contact gel at the points of contact with the penis received in the hollow cylindrical body.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, comprising an optical indicator of the position of the second focal point of the shock wave generator.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, comprising a device for measuring the magnitude of displacements of the distance of the center from the point contact of the hollow cylindrical body with the face of the shock wave generator.
