Zusammenfassung:	A device for generating shock waves, specifically for medical applications, has electrodes arranged in a liquid medium, a high voltage being applied to the electrodes to generate an electrical breakdown. Particles added in powder form are suspended in the liquid medium. In order to maintain the particles in suspension, a thixotropic additive is added to the liquid medium.
