摘要：
#$%^&*AU2020201293A120200312.pdf#####ABSTRACT An apparatus comprising: a housing defining a chamber and a shockwave outlet, the chamber configured to be filled with a liquid； a plurality of electrodes disposed in the chamber and configured to be coupled to a pulse-generation system, the plurality of electrodes including a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode defining a first spark gap； and a hinge coupled to the second electrode, the hinge configured to enable a change in a physical position of the second electrode with respect to the first electrode； wherein, when the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the pulse-generation system and when the chamber is filled with the liquid, the plurality of electrodes is configured to receive voltage pulses from the pulse-generation system such that portions of the liquid are vaporized to generate therapeutic shockwaves that propagate through the liquid and the shockwave outlet.
