Intelect Focus Shockwave Set

Greater Power & Depth for Better Treatment In Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), a wave is produced by a small explosion generated underwater inside an applicator. This wave is focused through a lens and transmitted into the tissue. Chattanooga's Intelect Focus Shockwave device electromagnetically generates an extracorporeal shock wave, which produces a high pressure peak in a very short amount of time (<2s). This can penetrate deep into the tissue, up to approximately 4.7", with a precise focus on a small target, for treating heel pain due to chronic proximal plantar fasciitis. Intuitive and easy to use The Intelect Focus Shockwave® is operated via a touch screen that displays all essential parameters such as frequency, energy and total number of applied shock waves. Previously stored and customized treatment parameters can be easily retrieved, preventing the need for repetitive manual navigation, and ultimately saving time for the user. Physiological Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Waves The acoustic wave positively influences the body's cell functions and intrinsic healing capabilities. The physiological effects of shock waves on the tissue include enhanced neovascularity, accelerated growth factor release, inhibition of molecules that have a role in inflammation, and stimulation of cellular processes that contribute to tissue healing and regeneration.1,4 Benefits - Short treatment time (a few minutes) - Precise and targeted application - Results in a few treatments (1-5)5,6,7,8 - Non-invasive technology - Alternative to medication Key Features LCD touch screen Enhanced Energy: 0.01 - 0.55mJ/mm2 Broad Frequency Range: 1 - 8Hz 2 stand-off variations 4.7" penetration with pinpoint focus Benefits Short treatment time (a few minutes) Deep tissue can be reached No known significant adverse effects What's in the Box - Standard Accessories Stand-off I (Short) Stand-off II (Long) Closing ring transparent for stand-off I and II Focus Shockwave Handpiece Focus Shockwave Water Bag Focus Shockwave Silicone Oil Focus Shockwave Operating manual Shockwave Power Cord US Focus Shockwave Hand-piece holder Optional Accessories Focus Shockwave Cart Focused Shock Wave therapy: a non-invasive treatment option for patients with heel pain due to chronic proximal plantar fasciitis*.
