Abstract
A treatment device includes a housing having a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a motor, a drive shaft operatively coupled to the motor, a compression spring at least partially disposed about the drive shaft, a helical cam disposed adjacent the compression spring, the helical cam having at least one discontinuity, a hammer coupled to the helical cam and moveable therewith, and a tip disposed adjacent the distal end.
Claims20
A treatment device comprising:
- a housing having a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
- a motor disposed within the housing;
- a drive shaft operatively coupled to the motor;
- a compression spring at least partially disposed about the drive shaft;
- a helical cam disposed adjacent the compression spring, the helical cam having a first flat end, and a second end having at least one discontinuity;
- a hammer coupled to one of the helical cam and the drive shaft and moveable therewith;
- and
- a tip disposed adjacent the distal end.

A treatment device comprising:
- a housing having a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
- a first element disposed at the distal end of the housing;
- a motor disposed within the housing;
- a second element operatively coupled to and driven by the motor, wherein movement of the second element results in repeated contact with the first element resulting in a shock wave of between 10 and 20 hertz.
