Abstract: A device for concrement destruction or crushing is disclosed which comprises an elongate probe adapted to be introduced into the human body, a drive unit that accelerates an impact body and a lever unit comprising at least one single-arm lever which is supported for rotation about an axis of rotation in such a way that it bears, in its home position, on the proximal end surface of the probe in particular, and which is rotated by the hitting impact body such that the lever accelerates the probe, which bears expediently against it, and the probe performs a translational movement causing the destruction or crushing of the concrement by the distal end surface of the probe hitting thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intracorporal treatment system for crushing concretions, such as stones in the urinary tract, calcium deposits in the blood vessels or bone cement, havinga thrust unit which accelerates a thrust element in an acceleration path in such a manner that it impinges upon a target, anda thrust transmitter designed as a probe which can be inserted into a human body and which is moved by the target in order to transmit the thrust to the treatment site.The invented treatment system is distinguised by the fact that the axes of the acceleration path and the thrust transmitter are offset and that said target is a non-axially acting transformation element which transmits the kinetic energy of said thrust element onto the proximal end of said thrust transmitter.
