Zusammenfassung:A device (1) for deflecting and focusing shock waves, a utilisation of a device (1) for deflecting and focusing shock waves, and a method of focusing and deflecting a shock wave are proposed, wherein the device (1) comprises at least one applicator (2), with at least one applicator (2) having at least one application surface (8) and a shock wave being capable of being emitted from at least one application surface (8) in a thrust direction, and at least one reflector (3), with at least one reflector (3) having at least one reflection surface (9) and a focal point (11) on which shock waves may be focused by the reflection surfaces (9), with the focal point (11) not being located in a thrust direction, whereby the primary shock wave may, in particular, be prevented from impinging on the tissue to be treated.
