Abstract
Shock wave energy generated for medical purposes is characterized by a biphasic pressure pulse, whereby a cavitation phenomen is induced causing the formation of tiny vesicles. As these microvesicles collapse a multidirectional fluid stream is induced within the tissue. Recently the application spectrum of extracorporeal shock waves (esw) has been widened from treatment of urinary calculi and bony non-union to soft tissue pathologies such as chronic wounds and flap ischemia. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of esw energy on normal microcirculation.
