Research Abstract	There is the country where low power outside the body shock wave treatment is really used for for a diabetic foot ulcer and a chronic leg ulcer in the Western European countries, but the authorization in this country is not done. The fundamental law can expect the role as the ace in the hole in the case that revascularizing it has difficult for diabetes, the arterial ischemia-related ulcer caused by the seriously ill ischemic limb (occlusive arteriosclerosis). The vascularization action was clarified through animal experiment. I pushed forward preparations for clinical application in parallel.
