Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	1. Apparatus for contactless disintegration of calculi (8) in the body of a living being (7), said apparatus having a shock wave generator (1) which has a rigid housing (2) which surrounds a cavity, is provided at its one end with a shock wave source (3) and is sealed at its other end by a flexible membrane (4) forming a radiating element, the cavity being filled with a fluid (5) which conducts the shock waves from the shock wave source (3) to the membrane (4), characterised in that a hydro-gel (5) is used as a fluid in the cavity.
