Electromechanical orthopaedic extracorporeal shock wave therapy system

Intended purpose

The Shockwave Therapy Device is a treatment system for the electromagnetic generation and application of radial shock waves in orthopaedics and physiotherapy. It is used to relieve pain and provide treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, plantar fasciitis and patellar tendinopathy. Shockwave Therapy Device is a non-invasive method that uses pressure waves to treat various conditions in the body. Acoustic waves deliver a mechanical force to the body’s tissues that carries high energy to painful spots and musculoskeletal tissues. The device main unit adjusts the intensity and frequency of the pressure pulse output by controlling the coil in the handpiece connected to the main unit and driving the projectile to hit the applicator. The operator can control the output of the handpiece through the trigger button on the handpiece. The shock waves created by the impact are transmitted through the skin in contact with the applicator. Medical effects of shockwaves include new blood vessel formation, reversal of chronic inflammation, stimulation of collagen production, dissolution of calcified fibroblasts and release of trigger points.
