Abstract
A lithotripter includes a therapeutic head with a source for the production and focusing of shockwaves into the body of a patient and is mounted such that a center axis of the head is forced to move and remain on the surface of a cone whose apex point coincides with the focus of the therapeutic head, external to the head, so as to obtain isocentric motion of the head vis-a-vis that focus, even if that focus is made to be positioned in the body of the patient and an ultrasonic transducer is isocentrally mounted on the therapeutic head.
