1. A focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (f-ESWT) system, comprising:
an f-ESWT device including a housing, the f-ESWT device configured to generate a plurality of individual shock waves configured to combine to form a focused shock wave; and
a plurality of interchangeable standoff structures, each standoff structure of the plurality of interchangeable standoff structures is configured (i) for removable connection to the housing, (ii) to receive the plurality of individual shock waves from the f-ESWT device, and (iii) to transmit the plurality of individual shock waves, each standoff structure of the plurality of interchangeable standoff structures including:
a rigid exterior shell defining a shell space; and
an elastomeric interior at least partially located in the shell space,
wherein the plurality of individual shock waves is transmitted through the rigid exterior shell and the elastomeric interior of a selected standoff structure of the plurality of interchangeable standoff structures that is removably connected to the housing.
