Zusammenfassung:A medical device for treatment of the human or animal body by mechanical pressure waves or shock waves comprises a device which generates the pressure waves or shock waves and which has at least one percussion part that can be moved to and fro, a pneumatic drive for the at least one percussion part, for applying pressure to the at least one percussion part, and at least one impact body against which the at least one percussion part strikes in order to generate the pressure waves or shock waves in the impact body, and a control system for the pneumatic drive. The control system controls the pneumatic drive during operation in such a way that the pressure during at least two successive strikes of the at least one percussion part against the impact body is applied continuously to the at least one percussion part, with the result that the at least one percussion part executes these at least two successive strikes in a time interval within a range of 2 ms to 30 ms.
