The Diver Box is designed to prevent impedance differences, energy loss or damage to neighboring structures caused by the use of shock waves with application gels. The Diver Box is an acrylic glass container filled with tempered water and includes a coupling membrane to prevent the impedance jump from air to water and to avoid the continuous propagation of shock waves into the tissue, maintaining wave dynamics. Different modes of extracorporeal shock waves can be applied to a mouse skin wound without energy loss and protected from harmful phase-reversed waves. Macroscopic changes were seen in only 5% to 12% of tested specimens. Hazardous phase reversal, back reflection and mechanical tissue damage can be avoided by use of the Diver Box, ensuring standardized extracorporeal shock wave application.
分流箱旨在防止因使用带有耦合凝胶的冲击波而导致的阻抗差异、能量损失或对相邻结构的损伤。分流箱是一个装有温水的丙烯酸玻璃容器，包括一个耦合膜，以防止从空气到水的阻抗跳跃，并避免冲击波持续传播到组织中，从而维持波动力学。不同模式的体外冲击波可以应用于小鼠皮肤伤口，而不会有能量损失，并且能免受有害的相位反转波的影响。在仅5%至12%的测试样本中观察到宏观变化。使用分流箱可以避免有害的相位反转、背反射和机械组织损伤，确保体外冲击波应用的标准化。
