    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithotripsy

    Electrohydraulic lithotripsy is an industrial technique for fragmenting rocks by using electrodes to create shockwaves. It was applied to bile duct stones in 1975. It can damage tissue and is mostly used in biliary tract specialty centers. Pneumatic mechanical devices have been used with endoscopes, commonly for large and hard stones. [7]

    Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is used as a second line measure to treat tennis elbow [9], [10] [11] shoulder rotator cuff pain, [12] [13] Achilles tendinitis, [14] [15] plantar fasciitis, [16] [17] and greater trochanteric pain syndrome. [18] ESWT is also used to promote bone healing and treat bone necrosis. [19]

    Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy (EHL) is a medical procedure which uses targeted shockwaves to break up kidney stones and gallstones. [1] This form of extracorporeal lithotripsy is unique in that the shockwaves are produced by a vaporization bubble expanding and collapsing repeatedly, creating a pressure wave. [1]

    Pneumatic tool attached using a coupling. A coupled pair consists of a male nipple or plug and a female coupler or socket. One side is connected to a flexible supply hose; the other may be attached to a manifold, valve, tool, or another hose. A female coupler is used on the supply side, and a male nipple is used on the receiving side.
