1. A lithotripter tip for use with a lithotripter probe, the lithotripter tip comprising:

  • a first electrode positioned at a distal end of the lithotripter tip; and

    a second electrode, an end of which is coaxially aligned with an end of the first electrode;

    wherein the first and second electrodes are positioned on the lithotripter tip such that an electric arc between the ends of the first and second electrodes causes a shockwave that is at least semi-annular to radiate radially from the lithotripter tip.
